Camp at ʻĀpua Point, Hawaii
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 here but destroyed by a tsunami following the April 2, 1868 Hawaii earthquake and never resettled.
ʻĀpua Point, just south of the former village site, 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. The trail crosses both old and new lava flows from the active volcano.
Apua Point is located on the south shore of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The Puna Coast Trail to Apua Point takes you over hardened lava flows and along the coastline, where waves crash violently into the sea cliffs. There is no shade along this hike but a handful of palm trees at the picturesque Apua Point bay make it a scenic location to spend the night.
