Why does beach sand glow at night?
The sand on this beach glows in the dark because of ostracod crustaceans, or sea shrimp. These tiny organisms, only one millimeter in length, emit the blue light for up to a minute, lighting up your path as you walk across the beach.
What is the rarest color of beach sand?
Olivine Sand Sand of almost exclusively olivine grains is very rare, and Papakolea is one of only four green sand beaches in the world. The others are Hornindalsvatnet in Norway, Punta Cormorant in the Galapagos Islands, and Talofofo Beach in Guam.
