Did you know it’s illegal to take sand from beaches in Hawaii? It’s also illegal to purchase sand online if it’s taken from Hawaii. The reason? There’s been an uptick in erosion in recent years, and Hawaiian beaches are shrinking. It’s easy to understand why this sand is for sale: It’s colorful, it’s unusual and it comes from a breathtaking destination. If you do see sand for sale online, report it to help get the listing removed. And always remember: Even small amounts in your shoes and bags should be shaken out and left on the beach!
