About Black Sands

Black Sands is a small, quiet residential subdivision in Lower Puna on the Big Island. Located just off Highway 130 south of Pahoa, it sits right across the road from the Seaview community and just minutes from the rugged southern coastline. Living here puts you in the middle of dramatic lava landscapes and lush tropical growth, with ocean breezes blowing up from nearby Kalapana.

Day-to-day essentials are an easy 15-minute drive north into Pahoa town, and the local county bus runs along the highway corridor for basic transit. Most people choose Black Sands for its quiet pace, independent feel, and easy access to coastal spots like Kehena Beach. It offers an appealing slice of rural Big Island living while keeping you within reach of everyday conveniences.
