Papakōlea Beach, Hawaii
Island, Hawaii
Hawaii’s beaches span the rainbow
and this one, in the south of the Big Island, is an earthy green, which is how
it got its nickname "green sand beach". Only four beaches of its kind
exist on this planet and the grassy hue comes from the mineral olivine, which
has been deposited over millennia from the volcanic tuff that hugs the
crescent. It’s a secluded spot, only accessible via a steep, downward hike.
