In February I finally had a chance to experience Hawaii's Green Sand Beach located on the Big Island. This is one of the Best Beaches and one of only four green sand beaches in the world! The name of this Green Sand Beach is Papakōlea.
The sand is green because of the green olivine crystals that are washed out of the old cinder cone next to the beach.
The Green Sand Beach is located near South Point. If you go be sure to take plenty of water and sunscreen. It is very windy and there is no shade.
