Overview

(Ka Lae)South Point Road is a short offroad trail that travels to the southernmost point in the US, on Hawaii's southernmost (and largest) island. The southern tip of "the big island" (Island of Hawai'i) has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. It has been reported that this is where the Polynesians originally came ashore between 400AD and 750 AD. The scenic landscape includes grassy plains, large windmills, cliffs with divers, a historical lighthouse and beautiful beaches.
