Near the southern point of the U.S.A. in the Hawaiian Islands, this is one of only four green sand beaches in the world. Papakolea is in Mahana Bay, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Tourists love to visit the green sand beach which is made of olivine crystals from a deposit in a volcanic cindercone which has eroded.
