Aerial view of Papak?lea Beach shows unique olive-green sand bordered by turquoise ocean waves. Rocky outcrops and swirling surf define the shoreline, creating a strikingly textured landscape. A solitary bird, possibly a seabird, flies above, adding dynamism to the serene setting. The surrounding cliffs are topped with tufts of golden grass, framing the vibrant beach below. Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, this rare beach is one of only a few green sand beaches in the world, due to its olivine mineral content.
