The Road to the Sea, Big Island as the name suggests is 6 miles long wild, jagged and rough road to the sea with a amount of secluded beaches that Hawaii is famed for. The drive begins with a tree lined, unpaved road but the landscape changes suddenly after a while with raw lava formations on both sides of the road, which has dreamlike magical quality to it. Often you will come over channels of lava that made their way to the sea and also spot big boulders of lava that sit there serenely as though meditating.
It is the perfect drive for a clear day and an adventurous mood; all you want is good four-wheel drive with good ground clearance filled with things for the day out at the beach. The drive is seriously not recommended in your house sedan.

The road is a slow drive with unexpected changes in landscape that keep the excitement going. At the end of the road the sea guarded by beaches in shades green fluctuating from emerald to olive greet the eye. Hawaiian islands boast of pink, white as well as the green beaches of Big Island, this unusual color comes from gemstones called olivine or peridot, which were thrown up from the seabed by intense volcanic reactions. The Hawaiians even attach spiritual point to this green sand and if you are lucky the sand may throw up broad crystals while sifting.
There are numerous trails for hiking that lead to the top of volcanic cones and to a amount of secluded beaches along the coast. The sea is great for swimming, snorkeling and surfing in good weather as long as one is aware that the seacoast can drop quickly to great depths.
