Green Sand Beach

After seeing South Point, we hiked out to the Green Sand Beach. We actually thought the sand looked more gold than green, but it was a unique color. The hike is about two miles each way. At 8am, it was not unpleasant, but the wind and heat would have made it a bit uncomfortable later in the day. The beach is surrounded by cliffs that contain olivine crystals (the source of the green sand). This makes it a pretty spectacular location. We were glad that we found time to get there.
