Papakolea Beach “Green Sand Beach”, Hawaii | #Geology #GeologyPage #GreenSandBeach #Hawaii


Papakolea Beach (also known as Green Sand Beach or Mahana Beach) is a green sand beach located near South Point, in the Ka’u district of the island of Hawaii. One of only four green sand beaches in the world, the others being Talofofo Beach, Guam, Punta Cormorant on Floreana Island in the Galapagos Islands, and Hornindalsvatnet, Norway(citation needed). It gets its distinctive coloring from the mineral olivine, found in the enclosing cinder cone.
