Papakolea Beach - Hawaii's Big Island - Emerald beach is caused by a silicate called olivine, a heavy mineral that tends to stick around instead of washing out to sea. There are 4 beaches in the world, but this is the only one in the United States. It sits on a tuff ring — the site of a volcano eruption that happened thousands of years ago. The olivine is from ancient lava flows, and the color ranges from a pea soup green-gold to deep jade. There is also "green" sand at Talofofo Beach in the U.S. territory of Guam.

Crane Beach, Barbados - famous sand beach - The name does not come from the bird, but from a crane used for loading and unloading ships that used to sit on the cliffs above the beach. It is home to a few resorts and has been a favorite for visitors since the late 1800s. Many media outlets consistently rank it as one of the best beaches in the Caribbean and the world. The television show, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," featured the beach in the 1980s and early 1990s. It is located on the Atlantic Ocean side of Barbados, which has far more turbulent waters than the Caribbean side. Have you visited Barbados?

Porto Ferro, Sardinia, Italy - The bright, light color of the sand is a result of crushed shells, volcanic deposits, and limestone.
