On the last day, on our way back to the airport, we stopped at a few beaches. One of them, which turned out to be more of a cliff than a beach was the Southern most point in the US, simply called South Point or Ka Lae. Huge Cliffs with a lot of people fishing and the vast blue ocean in front. We were surprised by how crowded it was there with mostly local folks. The drive to this point was about 12 miles from the highway and is paved. We passed an out-dated windfarm and another new one nearby. As you drive here, you will see beautiful scrub trees bending with the wind with squiggly branches. In the nearby towns you will find everything "southernmost" -- bakery, restaurant, etc.
We went to the South Point first, spent some time, chatted with a few out there and enquired about Green Sands Beach (on the next post).
This is one of the boat pulleys at South Point. These days I think it is just used for cliff jumping.
The water was so inviting. This is apparently the best place to catch a 150-pound yellow-fin tuna!
And there was also this little hole into which some adventurers were diving! And one of them invited us to try it too. No way :)
