    I've been there many times. There are smaller ones scattered around the island, too. Mostly on the Kona side.

    Papakōlea Beach - Big Island, Hawaii Green Sand Beach

    We were there this spring! We stayed near Pahoa in Leilani Estates. Rented a Jeep and drove out here & hiked around. Tried to bodysurf but was too rough but we had a great time!
