It is located at the 60 mile marker on the circle island Highway 11 and is a good spot to visit if you are traveling from Kona to visit the Volcanoes National Park. Laaloa Beach Park Magic Sands. Punalu'u beach qualifies "big time" as the best black sand beach on the Big Island. Punalu'u Although Punalu'u Beach is distant from the major populated areas of the Big Island it is the largest black sand beach in the state of Hawaii and has a beauty and charm all its own.
