Green Beach is also an attraction that is often abandoned by tourists but is particularly worthwhile. Located at the southern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii, even if you want to bump back and forth for forty minutes, you willingly! The sea is clear, the bay is relatively calm, and the sand is particularly delicate. It is very comfortable to swim in the sun. Moreover, the green beach is really "green". The real thing is greener than the picture. The main component of the sand is olivine. The locals say that these olivines are the tears of the volcano goddess. and the greenest sand is not in the beach just seen, but in the small sandstone area pointed by the local guide when returning, the sun is really golden, so beautiful!
