Kaihalulu Beach on Maui continues drawing adventurous travelers with its unique red sand formed by iron oxide, though authorities warn of a steep, slippery access trail that has caused injuries.
- The beach’s distinctive red color comes from iron oxide in volcanic cliffs that erodes and mixes with black volcanic ash.
- Visitors must navigate a steep, narrow trail along cliffs that authorities warn is slippery and prone to landslides.
- The remote location has caused injuries but also helps protect the beach from heavy tourist traffic.
- The secluded bay offers dramatic contrasts with red sand, turquoise water, and tropical vegetation.
- Kaihalulu remains one of Hawaii’s most photographed hidden attractions despite access challenges.
