5. Laupahoehoe Beach Park

LAUPAHOEHOE.   The name Laupahoehoe means "lava-leaf,” a fitting title for this Big Island park. If you're more interested in tourism or doing a little fishing, this Big Island sightseeing haven is just the place for you. Beautiful waterfalls cascade down steep cliffs, and waves crash against the black lava rocks, making a spectacular scene. Pack a picnic lunch for the family or visit the park's memorial, dedicated to the 24 people lost in the 1946 tidal wave that rocked this former residential area.   (© 10Best)
