Island of HawaiʻiKaʻū

Sights in Kaʻū

The island's biggest and emptiest district rolls from Volcano's forests to the windswept southern tip of the whole country.

Ka Lae (South Point)

The southernmost point of the United States — wind, cliffs, and open ocean to Antarctica.

<p>A National Historic Landmark where Polynesian voyagers likely first landed, marked today by canoe-mooring holes worn into the lava, a small heiau, and wind-bent trees under the turbines. The cliffs draw daredevil jumpers; currents here are fierce and rescues far away — enjoy the edge of the country from solid ground.</p>
