Heading south, visitors find
salt and pepper shore of Anaehoomalu Bay. The spirit of ancient royalty who lived and played in its bounty and beauty may still be sensed in gentle breeze. Anaehoomalu Bay features a restored fishpond where fish delicacies were reserved for alii or Hawaiian royalty. Discover them behind coconut palms that line sandy beach. In water, snorkelers delight in calm waters where sea turtles and other marine life reside. Restrooms, showers, picnic tables and plenty of parking make this beach easy to access and enjoy.
The southern tip of island, also southern most part of United States, is South Point or Ka Lae. The view of sheer cliffs plunging into mysterious depths of a navy blue ocean, captivate imagination - South Point is known as landing spot for earliest Polynesian voyagers.
East of South Point, hearty travelers find trail that traverses three miles in open terrain to famed Green Sands Beach. The hike leads to an unassuming ridge where green sands slope steeply into a secluded bay. The scenery is protected by a pu`u (a cinder cone mound) of limestone and other sediment. This cliff has been sculptured by relentless southern winds into layers that sparkle with same green grains. The sand's unique color comes from olivine of ancient lava flows. On this trip be sure to pack fluids and snacks, as there are no comfort stations or facilities.
