Hiking to Papakolea Green Sand Beach - Big Island, Hawaii

Published 2020-05-20
On our last trip to the Big Island, we were on a mission to see all of the colored sand beaches. One of the most unique ones is the Green Sand Beach. There are only four natural green sand beaches in the world, and Papakolea Green Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii is one of them. This very unique beach is hidden away along the coastline of South Point and is definitely worth the visit.

    You have the most detailed information about the hike. Thanks
  • Walking there is a significant part of the adventure! We three did it in 2020, just before the new 2021 year and it was a great experience. The colors were incredible: I was not sure how to color balance my video and stills!
  • @Raven462
    This helps immensely! Weโ€™re heading that way next week!
  • Is the truck $20 per person one way or RT? Do we need to reserve there or prior?
  • Swam with the turtles there. Freaked us out, all of a sudden there was something there and it was big.
  • @JP-dz7zu
    How much is the truck ride down and what hours do they run?
  • @aliciabrillante
    Thanks for this. I was worried about the descent but it doesnโ€™t look too bad.
  • @RGMGFitness
    FYI: I recently spoke to DHHLโ€™s (Department of Hawaiian Homelands) who is responsible for this property. Spoke with them today (4/28/2022). They told me it's ILLEGAL to either DRIVE or WALK/HIKE out to this beach. Was advised people can be fined for trespassing. I had no idea myself because I saw no signs when I was recently out there. Just posting in case any else is thinking about hiking out there. Just posting for information. Not judging....but if anyone doesn't believe me just call DHHL and they'll confirm. Please don't shoot the messenger..... thanks for reading.
  • AWESOME VIDEO, quick question to ask: you said that you hiked 5 miles one way or both ways? 2) i wonder if with a regular compact car is okay to drive up to the parking before starting to follow the trailhead or we need a truck to get to the parking? please advise, thanks a lot
  • @NeverwascooL
    Is it just me or does it look more brown than anything
  • @scottverba1875
    Headed to that area this July. Just need some advice. Not sure if you've hiked Punalu'u to Kamehame Beach, but I'm torn to hike either Papakolea Beach or the hike to Kamehame Beach as I'm only going to be in that area for a day. Any opinions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
