Have you seen a green beach? If not, then I will see it now. This is one of the world's top ten mysterious beaches, Papakolea Beach, located at the southernmost tip of the Big Island of Hawaii. The green beach is not big, surrounded by mountains on three sides, like an emerald displayed between the sea and the sky. The composition of the green beach is olivine, which was made by the volcanic activity of the seabed and then rushed to the shore. It was sanded by the sea for many years, forming a unique green beach! A warning sign was erected near the beach, and a fine of 500 was imposed on those who took the sand without authorization. In addition to material punishment, you will also be mentally condemned. The locals have said that this green sand is the tears of the volcano goddess, and those who take away the green sand without authorization will also be greeted by the goddess for revenge and curse. For thousands of years, it is because of the local people's fear of the gods and the protection of nature that we now have the opportunity to appreciate this unique beach. However, it is not easy to get to this forgotten beach, because the area is covered with miles of solidified lava flow, the ordinary car is completely inaccessible, and can only be driven by the local pickup truck. The so-called roads are all crushed by the wheels, and the two sides are covered with grass and there is a sense of adventure.
