Closeup view of the sea arch seen from the trail leading to Pu'u Pehe Rock on the left side of the beach.

Never stand or climb on a sea arch as they are often unstable and may collapse at any time.

Playing tag with a small wave, this little girl is having a great time.

Snorkeling is particularly good at this beach due to the conservation efforts to protect the sealife here.

Small and large tidepools are exposed during low tide and provide a great place to view sea life.

Many of the tidepools here extend out into the ocean due to the lava shelf located on the left side of the beach.

Always use extreme caution when walking on lava as it is very rough and can be very slippery and dangerous when wet.

The variation in the water color and the lava make this area very photogenic.

Iron and copper deposits in the lava causes these red colors to be most striking.

Part of this lava shelf has crumbled away over the centuries due to wave action and the instability of the lava itself.
