Sand Bar, Kilauea Eruption 2018
The Pohoiki boat ramp remains intact on August 15, 2018, but access from it to the open bay has been cut off by a sand bar that extends from the jetty to the shore, creating a small lagoon. As molten lava streams into the ocean, it shatters into small glassy fragments, forming black sand that's transported along the coast by longshore currents.
