Description
Big Island's Green Sand beach known as Papakolea Beach is one of only four green sand beaches in the world. The other three green sand beaches are Talofofo beach, Guam; Punta Cormorant on Florenan Island in Galapagos Islands; Hornindalsvatnet, Norway. The beach gets its distinctive sand coloration due to oilvine sand which over ages has eroded out of the enclosing volcanic cone or tuff ring. Papapolea Beach is about 3 miles east of Ka Lea or South Point (which also happens to be the southern most point of United States) and only accessible by foot or by 4x4s, use of which is restricted.
