Pohoiki Warm Ponds

19° 27.5′ N · 154° 50.5′ W

Geothermally warmed pools behind the black-sand beach that the 2018 eruption built at Pohoiki - the last of Puna's hot ponds after Ahalanui and Kapoho were buried.

Practical

Coordinate is to-hawaii's map point for Isaac Hale Beach Park; the ponds are reached from the park. Conditions vary since 2018; the ocean here has strong currents. Restrooms and picnic areas at the park.
