Sights on the South Shore

Spouting Horn

A blowhole that hisses like a legend's lizard before every 50-foot blast.

<p>Surf drives seawater through a lava tube and skyward off Lāwaʻi Road; a second hole exhales the moaning hiss that gave rise to the moʻo legend. Fenced overlook, best at higher surf and late-day light.</p>
