Information About

South Point, Hawaii




A 20-mile tarmac road ''South Point Road'' leads to South Point from Highway-11, the turn off being about 7-miles West of the village of Naalehu . From the end of the tarmac road, a series of dirt-tracks cross the area, leading most notably to the Green Sands Beach .

The vertical cliffs dropping into the ocean at south point make a popular fishing location. Also notable are large holes drilled vertically into the lava rock - these are ancient canoe moorings.

Visitors to the area will also notice the Kamaoa Wind Farm - a wind powered electricity generation farm consisting of 37 250kW Wind Turbines , with a total peak output of 9.3MW, which typically delivers 15,000-MWh of power to the island electrical grid. Also notable are the large shortwave radio antennas of KWHR and a 13-metre Parabolic Antenna of the Universal Space Network.
