Road to Hana-Back to Kahului

Instead of turning around and driving back the way we came, we continued circling the island, following the road along the southern side of East Maui. The road was narrow and unpaved for a portion of it, but the views were spectacular.

Road to Hana - Red Sand Beach

Right in Hana is a hidden and almost inaccessible beach that has red sand. It's caused from the cliff walls behind it that are made of red rock. Over the centuries, as the waves have slowly broken it down into pebbles, it's left the sand a distinct red color. Also, because of this red sand, the water turns into a beautiful turquoise color. The video doesn't show the colors too well, which is why we've decided to get a High Definition camcorder for future video of Hawaii. But trust me, it was beautiful.
