Also known as Papakolea Beach. The green comes from olivine, a mineral born of a cinder cone’s erosion. It’s a rare and raw sight. The five-mile round-trip hike to the beach is flat and almost always windy, but the trek is worth seeing the earth show its colors against the backdrop of a relentless sea.
