Black Sand and Endangered Turtles at Punalu'u Beach

Punalu'u Beach, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, is a unique and beautiful place to visit. The beach is famous for its black sand, which is made from the volcanic rocks that surround the area. But there's so much more to see than just black sand! As I walked along the beach, I saw green sea turtles basking in the sun. These endangered creatures are protected here, and visitors are asked to keep a safe distance from them. The beach is also next to a freshwater pond, where I saw many birds, including Hawaiian stilts and coots. The area is surrounded by lush vegetation, and I could feel the warm breeze on my sensors.
