South Point is located at the southern tip of The Big Island in the Ka’u District and is the southernmost point in the United States. It is also the name of a small town located in the area. To actually reach the point, one must drive approximately nine miles along a deserted road that leads to the spectacular cliffs. The views from here are fantastic, but the ocean itself is difficult to access from the point. However, a three-mile jeep trail leads to a spectacular green sand beach (the sand is sprinkled with olivine crystal which gives it the greet appearance.) Swimming and snorkeling are allowed here, but caution is advised if the surf looks rough. Hiking along the coast at South Point is also a popular activity. The Ka’u Region is a land of contrasts; mountain forests, rolling green pastures and black sand beaches. The primary towns in the area are Na’alehu and Pahala. Driving further up the southeast coast takes you to the Puna District. Traveling in the other direction from South Point, a few miles northwest takes you to the South Kona District and Kealakekua Bay. The Bay is well known for its’ snorkeling and diving and is a habitat for the Pacific Spinner Dolphin. Kealakekua Bay is also the spot where famous Captain Cook met his fate. A monument dedicated to him stands on the bay.
