Apua, Hawaii
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
ʻĀpua was an ancient village in the Puna district on the southern coast of the Island of Hawaiʻi in the Hawaiian Islands. A small fishing village was located at about Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found., an elevation about 59 feet (18 m) above sea level.[1] The village was destroyed by a tsunami following the April 2, 1868 Hawaii earthquake and never resettled.[2][3]
ʻĀpua Point, just south of the former village site,[4] has a backcountry campground for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. There is no drinking water nor other facilities at the site. Weather and surf conditions can be very dangerous.[5] The trail crosses both old and new lava flows from the active volcano.[6]
