I found too much actually but I'll just show you instead
- Volcanic Landscape: Lower Puna sits near Kīlauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The area has been shaped by lava flows, creating dramatic black sand beaches, lava fields, and even recent land formations.
- Kalapana and Lava Viewing: Kalapana was once a vibrant community, but much of it was buried by lava from the 1990 Kīlauea eruption. Visitors can see where the lava meets the ocean and explore areas where new land has formed.
- Kehena Black Sand Beach: This beautiful and secluded black sand beach is a well-known spot in Lower Puna. It’s also known for its clothing-optional policy and the occasional dolphin sighting in the nearby waters.
- Ahalanui Hot Pond (Pohoiki): Before the 2018 eruption, Ahalanui was famous for its naturally heated hot ponds, where people could swim in volcanically warmed water. While some hot ponds were destroyed, Pohoiki Beach remains, attracting visitors with its unique scenery.
- Lava Trees State Monument: This park features tree molds, formed when lava flows hardened around trees, leaving behind unique lava formations after the trees burned away. It's a distinctive sight of how nature interacts with volcanic activity.
- Eclectic Communities: Lower Puna is home to various off-the-grid communities, artists, and people seeking a more alternative lifestyle. The area's remoteness and affordability have attracted a diverse population.
- Pāhoa Town: The town of Pāhoa is often referred to as the "hippie capital" of Hawaii. It's known for its quirky charm, local eateries, and shops, giving it a laid-back, bohemian vibe.
