Papakolea Beach, Hawaii
Papakolea Beach displays the refreshing and picturesque water that most beaches have, but the water doesn’t crash amongst golden sand. Instead, the sand at this beach is green. Standing as only one of two green sand beaches in the entire world, Papakolea Beach is definitely one worth visiting. You’ll find it in the Kau district in Hawaii. The sands here get their distinctive green hue due to the olivine crystals that are located in a cinder cone that is close to the beach.
