A legend, referred to as Pele&#39;s Curse, says that visitors who take rocks or sand away from Hawaii will suffer bad luck until the native Hawaiian elements are returned.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-normal-rocks-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you take normal rocks from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Packing a few lava rocks or a handful of sand for a remarkable keepsake is harmless, right? Not so. Possessing or removing any natural mineral is illegal and could cost you some hefty fines. Hawaii is big on the preservation of natural resources.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-okay-to-take-rocks-from-the-beach\"><\/span>Is it okay to take rocks from the beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tyson Butzke, a California State Parks ranger, cited the California Code of Regulations, which bans gathering of any items, even shells, from beaches. Removing a rock is even worse. It is considered \u201ctampering with geological features.\u201dFeb 3, 2018<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-rocks-off-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you take rocks off Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>HAWAII (CBS) \u2013 Tourism officials in Hawaii are reminding visitors not to take lava rocks home with them. Taking things from National Parks is against the law, so taking volcanic rocks from Hawaii&#39;s volcanoes is illegal. But apart from being illegal, legend has it that taking volcanic rocks from Hawaii is bad luck.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-rocks-from-honolulu\"><\/span>Can you take rocks from Honolulu?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lava rock is sacred to Native Hawaiians, and taking any rocks or sand from Hawaii is illegal.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-illegal-to-take-sand-and-rocks-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Is it illegal to take sand and rocks from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>And that&#39;s a very risky endeavor, as taking sand from any beach in Hawaii is punishable by fines upwards of $100,000. This includes Papakolea Beach, also known as Green Sands Beach, and Punalu&#39;u Beach, which is famous for its black volcanic sands. This issue stretches far beyond the beaches of Italy and Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-can-you-not-bring-back-from-hawaii\"><\/span>What can you not bring back from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Common Items from Hawaii NOT ALLOWED into the U<br \/> Mainland or Alaska<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-shells-from-beaches-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you take shells from beaches in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Second, some people think it is illegal to remove rocks or sea shells from the shore in Hawaii. According to the Division of Land and Natural Resources, taking small amounts of sand, dead coral, rocks or other marine deposits for personal, noncommercial use is allowed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-shells-from-hawaii-beaches\"><\/span>Can you take shells from Hawaii beaches?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Second, some people think it is illegal to remove rocks or sea shells from the shore in Hawaii.

You can search for shells year-round, but to beat the crowds, it is better to start searching early in the day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-bring-back-sand-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you bring back sand from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is against federal law to remove rocks from a national park, and against state law to take sand from any Hawaii beach.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-bring-coral-back-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I bring coral back from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. In Hawai&#39;i, it is unlawful to take, break or damage, any stony coral, including any reef or mushroom coral (HAR 13-95-70), except as otherwise authorized by law by a Special Activity Permit for scientific, educational, management, or propagation purposes (HRS 187A-6). Am I allowed to collect coral to sell? No.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-shells-and-rocks-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you take shells and rocks from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can You Take Rocks from Hawaii? Just like with seashells, taking rocks from Hawaii in small amounts for your personal use is permitted by the Division of Land and Natural Resources. But again, you&#39;re not allowed to sell any of the rocks that you&#39;ve collected from Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-no-seashells-on-waikiki-beach\"><\/span>Why are there no seashells on Waikiki beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Re: Sea shells in Oahu? Two of the main reasons you won&#39;t find seashells on the beach here in Hawaii are: the isolation of the islands and the slope of the beaches. If one is diving or snorkeling far off shore, you will see seashells. These of course are homes to living animals and shouldn&#39;t be taken.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-find-sea-glass-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you find sea glass in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One such hidden gem is found on the island of Kauai, tucked away in a Hanapepe industrial area, near Port Allen Harbor: this is Kauai&#39;s Glass Beach, and it is covered with millions of sea glass pebbles in brilliant hues of aqua, blue and brown. Come and check out this gorgeous sea glass beach in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-bring-shells-and-coral-back-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you bring shells and coral back from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. Taking anything out of a National Park is against the law anywhere in the United States, and that includes lava rocks from Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-sea-glass-on-oahu\"><\/span>Is there sea glass on Oahu?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To be honest, the best sea glass hunting on Oahu is found along the seven mile miracle known as the North Shore (as per above). However, we&#39;d be remiss to exclude mention of the South Shore gem known as Diamond Head Beach, especially since it&#39;s close to the resort area of Waikiki.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-bring-lava-rock-back-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you bring lava rock back from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>HAWAII (CBS) &#8211; Tourism officials in Hawaii are reminding visitors not to take lava rocks home with them.

They are rare, but if you have any hope of finding them without strapping on scuba gear this is where to be. You are, however, guaranteed to find puka shells and funky shaped coral.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-pick-up-shells-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you pick up shells in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hawaii&#39;s Department of Land and Natural Resources allows you to collect seashells for personal use but not for resale.
