A major eruption occurred as recently as 2018, leading thousands to evacuate their homes and creating a new black-sand beach at Kepo’okalani Hale Beach Park. Visitors are warned of the risks should they choose to venture farther than the volcanic black-sand beaches and into the water. Active since 1983, the volcano frequently erupts, forcing lava into the sea, and in turn, raising the water temperature to unbearable levels. It’s ideal for those who want the sea to feel more like a swimming pool.Īt the heart of the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, Mount Kilauea is one of Big Island’s most beautiful, yet destructive, sights. With a natural rock enclosure circling the beach, the water here is calm and suited for snorkeling. Where to Go Instead: One of the island’s safest beaches (though it’s worth remembering that any beach can be dangerous depending in the conditions), Lydgate Beach Park is on the opposite side of the island than Hanakapiai Beach. It serves as a stark reminder to stay away from the water. A famous warning sign shows over 80 tally marks, representing those killed by unseen currents on the beach. But be warned: The absence of a reef to hinder ocean swells, a hazardous high surf, dangerous shore breaks, and super-strong rip currents have contributed to many drowning deaths between 19. It can be reached via a stunning hiking trail that will leave you sweaty, sun-kissed, and achy - enough to tempt you to dive into the water. In terms of do-not-enter-the-water danger, Hanakapiai Beach on Kauai’s Na Pali Coast tops the list. Kalalau Trail to Hanakapiai Beach, Kauai Rick McCharles/Flickr
