Kalapana
Lava-Destroyed Town
| Address: |
|
Hwy 137 Kalapana, HI 96778 |
Description
Kalapana's black sand beach was one of the wonders of the Big Island; once a cherished fishing village, the village was devastated in 1990 by a volcano that left only a few homes and sites unscathed from the flowing lava. Today, it is dangerous to get near the water, as some predict that it is unstable, and the seashore may soon collapse and slide into the ocean. Road signs show village names crossed out after they were destroyed by the eruption.
