We hiked out to the beach in Sep 2023. It was a tough hike as you are walking on Lava and crushed Lava up and down bluffs the whole way. If you fall you can get cut pretty bad. We were 66yo at the time and once we got out there and saw all there was to see we decided to hitch a ride back on one of the shuttle trucks for $15. Since the sights on the way back would be the same as on the way out and the ride itself is quite and experience as you are standing the whole ride holding onto the bars and using your knees as shock absorbers as you go up and down the bumps and holes.

There wasn't a shuttle when i was there years ago. It was a hard walk but well worth it. Also, we had to climb down to the ocean by steps carved into the wall.

How taxing was the hike up? I have heart failure and "up" is very difficult but I want to tackle that beach!

It wasn't to bad to get down Evan if you don't hike to the bottom it is a awesome view from the top

@@Rodsmokingstuff you have to drive really bad to create a damage. Jeep wrangler is far more superior than truck those guys use. Don’t let anyone stop you if you have a jeep. We had an excellent experience doing this with the family.

I was doing some research and it seems as if these shuttles are illegal. The area is fragile and the popularity of the rides to and from the beach is causing some erosion. Does anyone know more about that ?

There are no sign saying it wasn't legal So if it is they don't enforce it

It’s legal. Also the locals who operate the shuttles try to tell the tourists with 4WD vehicles that the land is private etc and its ancient burial land etc. It’s not. Its public and anyone can drive it with the right vehicle. Just ignore them. They just want your money.

Whats the address of the parking lot so I can Google it? Me, wife and daughter would love to take the shuttle $20 each return trip. I have 3 seniors with me who can wait in the rental car.

I rented a Jeep five years ago so my family could go to the Green Sand beach, the Mauna Kea summit and another area. The drive to the Green Sand Beach was challenging yet fun.

@@jesusdiazdeleon1121 I had 4x4’d on some rough trails so I had a small amount of experience. I followed tire tracks out to the beach and took my time. I followed some locals on the way back although that led to a bit more excitement than planned with the route they drove. I think the desire to see the beach overrode any concerns.
