A beautiful sunrise at Red Sand Beach ( Kaihalulu Beach ). Red Sand Beach is a dramatic and beautiful hidden cove unlike any other. The ocean outside the cove is almost always a deep, almost surreal Kool-Aid blue, and rages relentlessly against the dramatic and rugged coastline. The crescent-shaped beach is cut deep into the Ka’uiki Head cinder cone, whose rust-red lava cinder cliffs supply the beach with its red sand. These cliffs of loose crumbly cinders tower almost vertically, yet somehow remain intact to impressive heights. The cove is protected on the ocean side by a wall of jagged black lava rock, further contributing to this almost otherworldly scene. Hana, Maui, Hawaii, USA
