The Laupahoehoe Point Beach Park is located on the Big Island, on the eastern shore. This is a peninsula covered with coconut palms, grass and black lava rocks on the shoreline, which contrast beautifully with the deep blue ocean. You can enjoy a beautiful blue ocean on a sunny day.
Laupahoehoe is definitely popular for its scenic views, but unfortunately it has a tragic past. In 1946 A tsunami killed 19 schoolchildren and 5 adults and the names of these victims were engraved on a rock. This now serves as a memorial that is visible in the park. In order to avoid another tragedy, the village was later relocated further inland.
You can take beautiful pictures at this beach, but you have limited options when it comes to water activities. Apart from the near-shore tide pools that you can explore, the ocean is quite rough and very dangerous for swimmers. You can see the waves crashing on the rocks when you are out alongside the peninsula.
