South PointEnd of South Point Road
(off Highway 11)
Hawaii, HI 96777
The southern tip of the Big Island is also the southernmost place in the entire United States. Plenty of people make the journey to see it, though there isn't a whole lot to see on the way. There is something to hear, however: the windmills at Kamoa Wind Farm. Definitely take time out to stop at Mahana Beach, known for its green sand, along the way. The view once you get to South Point is quite pretty and definitely worth a picture. A warning, though: do not ever go in the water. Every local guide will warn you about this spot's perilous currents. Copyright © 2009 Schmap, Inc.
