View from the Southernmost point
May 24, 2014
Key West holds the Southernmost point in the continental US but the Big Island is the winner of the 50 states. I was trying to find the green sand beeches when I saw the sign to the Southernmost point. I hadn’t really thought about it before. It made sense that the southern point of the Big Island would also be the Southernmost point in the USA. I decided to check it out.
I drove 12 mile through dry meadows to get there. The Southernmost point had steep cliffs going into the ocean and a blowhole not too far away. I was surprised to see the small crowd was mainly locals and they were enjoying jumping into the blowhole and over the cliff’s edge. I am not one for heights so I was a bit anxious just watching it.
From there it was a fast drive up the Hilo side of the Island and finally crossing back over to Kona. I knew that it would get dark and it wouldn’t be best for taking pictures but I wanted to say that I drove around the entire Island. I did but the day turned out to be a long one starting with Snorkeling followed by a drive around the Island.
