About This Design

Green Sand Beach Hawaii Travel Postcard

Green Sand Beach Hawaii Travel Postcard

Papakōlea Beach, commonly known as Green Sand Beach, is a unique and striking beach located on the southern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii near South Point (Ka Lae). Its sand gets its unusual green color from olivine crystals, a mineral eroded from the volcanic rocks of the surrounding cinder cone, making it one of the only green sand beaches in the world. The beach sits at the base of steep cliffs, creating a remote and secluded setting that adds to its dramatic beauty. The contrast of the vivid green sand against the deep blue ocean is visually stunning, attracting photographers and adventurous travelers alike. Access to Green Sand Beach requires a moderately challenging hike of about 2.5 miles each way from the parking area near South Point, though some locals offer rides in rugged vehicles for those who prefer not to hike. Swimming is possible, but visitors should exercise caution, as the waves and currents can be strong. The beach is relatively small and less crowded than more accessible beaches in Hawaii, making it a special destination for those seeking a unique natural experience. Its combination of geological rarity, remote location, and natural beauty makes Papakōlea Beach a truly memorable stop on the Big Island.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
