Jan 2024 – Links are for your information only. We do NOT receive any type of compensation for including them.

As we made our way to Volcano National Park from Waikoloa Beach area, we made a stop at the southernmost point the United States (territories not included). South Point Complex is a National Historic Landmark – designation due to the original settlement of the islands first inhabitants.

It was an interesting 12 mile drive with horse ranches and farmland all around. It didn’t feel like we were in a tropic region – very low humidity on this day.

Upon reaching the end of the road, there were people fishing off the cliff. A short walk took you to a “lighthouse” (not a lighthouse in the traditional sense). From the shore, we could see whales blowing.

There was also a water cave blowhole in the area. Some people were debating if they should jump in – we were thinking NO WAY!

BlowHole at South Point – you might want to turn your sound down/off. Lots of wind noise.

Next stop: Volcano House for dinner and sleep!

    When we went in 2010, there were broken windmills at South Point. Based on your pictures, it looks like the broken windmills have been removed.

    How amazing it must’ve been to see whales blowing!

      It was amazing! I hadn’t been there in about 40 years. I didn’t remember what it was like.
