The current whips the sand around (the blurry spots) as the waves crash onto the shore. This sand is more coarse than what we have on the East Coast because Hawaii’s sand is made up of calcium carbonate from Reef skeletons and shells, where as our East Coast beaches include quartz crystal, from the Earth’s uppermost layer. There is actually a lot of interesting info on Hawaii’s sand and all of the colors at https://bossfrog.com/interesting-hawaii-sand-facts/maui-information/ 2014 Hawaiian Adventure Tour with @gocollette #underthesea #kiahunabeach #kauai #travelphotographer #hawaii #alohastateofmind #livealoha #wanderer #traveling #travelblogger #tourism #Landscapes #igtravel #ilovetravel #getaway #beach #travelgirlshub #travel #vacation #wanderlust #art #outdoors #beautiful #photooftheday #amazing #beauty #family #creative #creativecalling #julieannbloniaszphotography via @preview.app (at Kiahuna Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SNEC6JKaH/?igshid=fj3ikyzqyi44
