OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Laupahoehoe Beach Park lies on the Big
Island's rocky, windward coast. The coast
here is unsuitable for swimming, but
opportunities for fishing, camping and
viewing scenery are plentiful. The large
park area lies at the foot of a steep cliff
and is shaded by ironwood trees. There is no
beach at Laupahoehoe, only a jagged,
rock-strewn entrance to the sea. Facilities
at this site include: restrooms, dishwashing
area, electric lights, covered picnic
tables, grills, showers and drinking water.
This site is often used by residents of the
area. This is a great place to splash
around, discovering life in the tidepools.
The
name Laupahoehoe means "lava-leaf,” a
fitting title for this park. If you're more
interested in tourism or doing a little
fishing, this Big Island sightseeing haven
is just the place for you. Beautiful
waterfalls cascade down steep cliffs, and
waves crash against the black lava rocks,
making a spectacular scene. Pack a picnic
lunch for the family or visit the park's
memorial, dedicated to the 24 people lost in
the 1946 tidal wave that rocked this former
residential area. |
