A Hidden Gem in Hawaii
As I descended into Pololu Valley, the first thing that caught my attention was the black sand beach. It was unlike any other beach I had seen on Earth. The valley was surrounded by lush green cliffs and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was hypnotic. I learned that Pololu Valley was once a site of a thriving Hawaiian community but was abandoned after a tsunami. Today, it is a popular destination for hikers and adventurers seeking stunning vistas, towering waterfalls, and serene moments on the beach.
