Once inside, the tourist filmed the dramatic coastline and showed off rocks from the park.“Black sand beach, we got some waves,” she said in the clip.“Look at these beautiful black rocks.

Black sand that has minerals and s–t.”But state officials said the picturesque scene came with potentially deadly risks.The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources explained that the park had been closed because of heavy rain, strong winds, possible flash flooding, falling debris and dangerous surf.Officials said Abdullah went beyond a locked gate and multiple closure signs before reaching the beach.“When we look at the video here, clearly she’s trespassing,” DLNR spokesperson Andrew Laurence told Hawaii News Now.

“The park was closed.That means the gate at the road was locked and then she went past the two signs that said that the area was closed.”Laurence said the rough surf captured in Abdullah’s own footage showed just how serious the danger was.“She could have died before anybody could get to her,” he said.The stunt also struck a nerve with Hana residents, who said the issue went beyond ignoring safety warnings.
