Waipi'o Beach, often referred to as the Valley of the Gods, is a stunning black-sand beach located at the base of the towering sea cliffs of Waipi'o Valley on the northeastern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. Known for its spiritual and scenic significance, the area is rich with ancient temples and lush rainforests, providing a breathtaking experience for visitors.

Accessing Waipi'o Beach is adventurous, requiring a 4WD vehicle or a challenging one-mile hike down a steep road from the Waipi'o Valley Lookout. While swimming is not recommended due to strong currents and high surf, visitors can enjoy nearby waterfalls and the sight of wild horses roaming freely in this serene and mystical landscape.
