Ka Lae (South Point)

About

Ka Lae translates in Hawaiian to ‘the point’ and is the southernmost point of land in the United States. The area has a desolate beauty all on its own with wind-bent trees and cliffs that feel like the end of the world. 

While you are at the point, you can visit an ancient Hawaiian fishing heiau or temple, watch local fishermen bring in their catch, spot wildlife like sea turtles and migrating whales, or cheer the brave souls taking the 40-foot plunge off the steep cliffs into the clear water below. It's breathtaking!
