GREEN :)


 

 
Green with envy here!   There's only two green beaches in the world, and beautiful one found on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA.  This is Papakolea Beach :)!  The green sand is an olive shade caused by a volcano that was once in existence. The green sand is actually part of what's left of what was once a cinder cone volcano from years ago.  Only three sides of the volcano are left standing.   There are no tours to this amazing beach in Mahana Bay.  The beach is very isolated and takes about 2 1/2 hours from the resorts along the Kohola Coast.  Once the road ends, you can either have a rough 3 mile hike or be an experienced off road driver with a 4x4 :).
