“Cliff Jumping” |
We went down to South Point. It's the southern most point in the US. To get there from Kona, you take the main highway south. South Point (Ka Lae) is at the end of an 11 mile road, due south from the Mamalahoa Highway (Hwy 11) turning off between the Ocean View Estate and Wai’ohinu (home of the descendant of Mark Twain’s Monkey Pod tree).
Once you get down off the main road, the road gets a little narrow and bumpy and you think you are going the wrong way. Just keep going, you'll pass some wind turbins on the way and eventually see other cars parked off to the right. If you keep going, there's supposed to be a green sand beach around also, but we didn't know that when we were there.
Where we stopped, there are places were people jump off the side of the cliff into the ocean. That wasn't for me, but Mike did it and loved it.
