Kamilo Beach

Kamilo Beach (commonly known by some as Plastic Beach) on Hawaii's Big Island offers a haven of peace and relaxation for anyone searching for ways to reconnect with nature. Boasting gorgeous scenery, unique marine debris collections, and outdoor recreation opportunities aplenty, Kamilo Beach should not be ignored when exploring Hawaii's southeastern coastline.

Kamilo Beach has garnered attention because of the massive amount of plastic debris which washed up along its shores. Yet, it remains able to maintain its unique appeal and raise awareness about the problem in the form of pollution to oceans.

Kamilo Beach attracts many visitors who take part in beach cleanup efforts in order to eliminate garbage and plastic that have accumulated on the shores. It also provides an informative lesson on conservation efforts and eco-friendly methods for disposal. The main reason for its popularity is the pollution caused by plastics, with clear landscapes and ongoing conservation efforts that encourage everyone to practice the environment considering the environmental issues.
