Take the 40 minute drive down to Punaluu Black Sand Beach. There's easy access (park in the parking lot, walk over to the beach) and there are usually turtles basking in the sun!

If you're looking for a big bold red this is probably not the place for you, but if you like light, fruity wines it is definitely worth a stop. They grow their own tea and the tea-infused wine is memorable. The southern-most winery in the USA.
