Laupahoehoe Point

Jagged volcanic rock and raging water make up this section of the coast. Laupahoehoe Point is a small cove with a nice grassy park and an old jetty. It was put in the map during the 1946 tsunami because a school full of kids and teachers was washed out to sea. There is a monument and an interesting display about the event. Most surprising was that several student survived by forming a raft out of debris. They drifted for several days before they were found and brought ashore.

Monument to those lost in 1946.
