After driving for about an hour, we arrived on the Big Island’s South Point. Among all the island of Hawaii, Big Island remained to be the roughest, rockiest and most intense island due to its nature. You can find black lava rocks everywhere even on the beach, some beaches consists of black lava sands (such as black sand beach, quite amazing, actually). So no wonder the myth of Green Sand Beach is that it is difficult to access — you’d either have to hike which takes about an hour and half or go on the rockiest ride in your life.

We picked the ride, of course! Along the way, the beautiful seashores continued to catch my attention. On one end it is so rocky, full of lava stones and red dirt, on the other end, you see crisp green plants and crystal clear blue water which were distinguish by a fine line of black lava rocks along the sea shore. The contrast and the colors were incredible!

When we arrived at the spot, I did not see any beach… “Where is the beach?” “Oh you’d have to hike down there,” said the lady who drove the four driver. All I could see at that moment was huge volcano crater with a big hole in the middle.
