/ Kai-mū / Wahi ｜ Location, Place Names of Hawaiʻi (1974),

Stream, Waipiʻo qd.; land section and village, Kalapana qd., Hawaiʻi, noted for its surf and its black sand beach. The black sand was formed by steam explosions that occurred when a lava flow entered the ocean (Macdonald and Abbott 44) in about 1750. The surfing site was formerly called Hōʻeu and Kapoho, but now is called Kaimū. (For a pun, see PE, mū.) Literally, gathering [at the] sea [to watch surfing].

Kaimū

Wahi ｜ Location, Hawaiʻi Place Names (2002),

Beach Park, Kaimū, Hawaiʻi. Once the site of Hawaiʻi's most famous and most photographed black sand beach, the beach and park were overrun by lava flows from Kīlauea in 1990. The flows also filled the bay that fronted the beach, destroying several surf sites. The park's shore is now rocky, with small pockets of black sand. Literally, gathering [at the] sea [to watch surfing], or silent sea.
