    I was going to call it "How tourists die in Hawaii but, didn't want to scare people from coming here. This is "White Sands Beach Park". Also known as Magic Sands, Tragic Slams and more. Located on Ali'i Dr. Large surf generally takes all the sand away in the winter. Sometimes in the summer too if we get a large enough WSW swell. There are menacing rocks just underneath that sand. Best know how to go over the falls of a wave correctly or you'll be getting to know our local emergency room personnel. By the way, they are very nice at the ER.
    This day we had a moderate SSW swell. Most often tourists neglect to watch what's going on before venturing out into the ocean. Even when the lifeguard warns people they still go out and either get injured or need to be rescued.
    When the surf is pounding dislocated shoulders neck and back injuries are common here. Lifeguards had to do a few rescues. Sometimes the fire Dept parks at the street just waiting for the next victim.
    Myself, I surfed 3 hours elsewhere that day and was on my way home and decided to stop and get some of the action on my GoPro Hero 3+.
    The video starts out in the narrow view. Not as sharp as in medium or wide. Also shot in Protune flat at 60fps. 1080p so, watch at the highest setting. Was hoping for it to look better. Maybe next time. Sun was in and out.

      In late June of 1998 my (then) 12 year old daughter rescued a toddler on the far side of that beach who was being swept out by a large wave while the toddler’s family was not paying attention. A hero.

    My last trip to Kona, we enjoyed "Magic Sands Beach" very much. We played a bit in the surf, but when it got too crowded we just sat and watched. Thank you for sharing- it brought a big smile and I agree with another comment, we need an hour of that shot to relax to at the office :)

    One word to describe Magic’s.. Mental! Never turn your back. Was just 2018 I think I woke up n grabbed the paper n read that a tourist told his wife “one more time before we catch our flight” he got smashed n broke his back. Not hard to do here. Soo crazy sometimes but major good body boarding Cheeeout! 🤙

      Yep, people have to be very careful at this beach when there's surf. Don't be fooled into thinking its safe by seeing the locals out there. The rip current is strong. Don't end up in one of my videos for the wrong reasons. Thanks for watching...

    The problem is that this is really the only beach in an area with a great many small hotels, and lots of tourists. So when there's sand here in the summer, there are a lot of people here too.

    i live in istanbul and its like this in the south of black sea (well not this blue and cool looking, its dark blue mostly), pulls you to the deeps while youre not noticing youre being pulled. A lotta people died there so city pulled a red cord all over the coasts. like you cant swim over 10 meters if youre not a proffessional.

    • @lavapix
      @lavapix  8 років тому +1

      +Jeff Kohn This beach only got a lifeguard tower and lifeguards within the last few years. Everything is still kind of wild over here but, its changing. If you go not too far out to sea the ocean here is a real deep blue. No sustained rivers or streams on this side of the island so, the ocean is always very clear and colorful shades of blue.

    Yeah, Magic Sands it is.
    The winter of '69-'70, Crazy Hawaiian Bruce and I body surfed this break at 15'.
    We were the only people stupid enough to go out.
    Lucky to have survived.
    This vid shows the "beach" with the presence of sand.
    When we "did it", there was zero sand.
    Young and dumb.

    • @lavapix
      @lavapix  7 років тому +2

      Gap between winter and first big summer swell brought the sand back. Had a few 10+ Hawaiian scale swells this year. Sand is slowly coming back. Yeah, I surfed Lymans the morning of Iniki in 92. We had no idea the storm blew up into a cat 5 and was sending 30-35' waves. Went from 15'-20' Hawaiian and glassy to the 30'+ storm surf in a heartbeat. Had a cop with a bullhorn telling us to come in. Ali'i dr was closed by then. We were already trying to get in before he showed up :-) Took 45 mins to get in the current was so bad. Good times...Thanks for watching...

    • @davidgreenfield3690
      @davidgreenfield3690 7 років тому +2

      I can't imagine 35' break at Magic Sands.
      I imagine that WOULD close Ali'i Drive.
      Earlier that same year, I was sitting on the rock wall, when a waterspout came right down the pier, destroyed the post office and just dissapated.
      Things can get pretty extreme on the Big Island.

    • @lavapix
      @lavapix  7 років тому +1

      Iniki waves were washing over the pier all day. Had to be maybe 100 body boarders and surfers surfing a wave right there at the pier breaking up to the sea wall. Never did that again. The destruction here got little to no coverage seeing Kauai was destroyed. Yeah, big extremes here. Tranquil 99% of the time but, when we get something its radical.

      sardu55 Yeah, people are all looking for the closeout barrels from the larger sets. You can surf from the outer reef break all the way into the beach on the biggest and best sets. It is fun.

    If it's so common, can't they build some sort of support around the rocks to avoid it?
    Like a net or something?
    Eitherway, what a beautiful sight. Seems safe enough but i'd need to be there personally, hahaha. :)

    • @lavapix
      @lavapix  9 років тому +1

      Eren Jaeger The common injuries are people getting driven into the sand. Even smaller waves can cause injuries at beach breaks. The rocks getting exposed is a natural occurrence that can change by the hour and should be left as is. People need to be more aware. Plenty of warning signs etc... They usually ignore. I'm talking of course about those who are unfamiliar with the beach. It really is safe for anyone with common sense. Big waves here always attract a crowd. Its fun to watch.

    • @lavapix
      @lavapix  7 років тому +1

      When the sand is there its the best beach in town. When there's a swell its popular for body surfing at the beach break and surfing out at the point. Large stuff like this is best left to the experienced. Tourists often get injured or in trouble from the rip tide or currents. Thanks for watching...
