Green Sands Beach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Sands Beach (or Mahana Beach) is an unusual feature of the Island of Hawaii. It is made from a partially collapsed cinder cone rich in the mineral olivine, giving the sand an uncommon green color. The beach contains the highest concentration of green sand in the state of Hawaii.
Located near Ka Lae, it requires about a 2 mile (3.2 km) hike or a good 4WD vehicle to access.
