Mahana Beach Review

Have you seen a green beach? If not, see it now. This is Papakolea Beach, one of the world's top ten mysterious beaches, located at the southernmost tip of Hawaii's Big Island. The green beach is small, surrounded by mountains on three sides, like an emerald displayed between the sea and the sky. The green sand beach is composed of olive stone, which was made by volcanic activity on the sea floor and washed to the shore, and then sanded by the sea for years, forming this unique color of green sand! A warning sign was erected near the beach and a $500 fine was imposed on anyone who took the sand without authorization. In addition to the material punishment, you will be mentally condemned. Locals legend that this green sand is the tears of the volcanic goddess, and those who take it without authorization will be retaliated and cursed by the goddess. For thousands of years, it is the locals' awe of the gods and the protection of nature that gives us the opportunity to enjoy this unique beach. But getting to the forgiving beach is not easy, because the area is covered with miles of solidified lava flows, and ordinary cars are completely inaccessible, only to ride in local pickup trucks. The so-called road is all by the wheels of the crushed out, the two sides are overgrown, very adventure feel.
