I believe that was caused by the lack of new glass and people collecting the existing glass. What is left is dark sand with small amounts of glass.

It is in an old industrial area and has a beach where the one factory used to dump their scrap glass. Because of this it is called "Glass Beach" and a big attraction for sea glass collectors. For other sea glass beach locations in Hawaii, visit http"//www.seaglasslovers.ning.com a private member only community that is home to sea glass collectors around the world. They share onot only beach loctions but display ideas, photos, stories about great sea glass finds and much more!

Our family visits Maui every May for a month and we consider it our second home. We are respectful to locals and treat them with respect. We try to blend in and rarely do touristy things anymore. We basically just hang out at the beach and visit the great restaurants. My observation is that in the past few years, the attitudes seem to be changing. A more vocal group seems bent on making the fact that tourist are unwelcome known. A wave of very "anti-visitor" feeling seems to be taking hold. Am I wrong? Is there anything we can do, other than being kind and respecting the people and the land, to change this? We love Maui for the beaches and Aloha. If the Aloha goes away, it becomes just another sunny beach getaway. P.S. My Mom has lived on the Big Island for 12 years, and it isn't as bad. Thanks, Jeff…loved it!
