 Barking Sand Beach Kauai , Hawaii

Due to a particular type of quartz, the sand granules on this unique beach actually make a barking noise when rubbed. To up the unusual factor, Barking Sands Beach also features a rocket-launch site and missile-defense testing center.

 

Papakolea Beach , Hawaii

This beach is one of the only two Green Beaches in the world. The beach’s olive-colored sand is due to the presence of olivine, a greenish, semi-precious stone from the Pu’u o Mahana cinder cone. The strong waves that hit the base of the cinder cone extract olivine out of the cinder and deposit them on the sand, giving it a unique green color.
