Kaimu, Hawaii

Kaimū was a small town on the Island of Hawai'i in the Hawaiian Islands that was completley destroyed by an eruptive flow of lava from the Pu'u 'O'o vent of the Kīlauea volcano in 1990. In Hawaiian, kai mū means "gathering the sea" as to watch surfing. The lava flow that destroyed Kaimū and nearby Kalapana erupted from the southeast rift zone of Kīlauea. Kaimū was located on Kaimū Bay. The bay was noteworthy for its black sand beach. Now both the bay and the town are buried under some 50 feet of lava. A large section of State Rte. 130 was also covered by the lava. Kaimū is considered a ghost town.
