Absolutely breathtaking views ! Standing on that edge is amazing. A must see on the Big Island of Hawaii. If you are daring enough to jump the rocks to the left are an easier climb out than the ladder .

Stephanie Marie

DEFINITELY go to the Green Sand beach . BREATHTAKING!! Stay cool & take the 3 mile trip via the locals that offer in the parking lot . They are so nice & it was only $40 on 4.16.13.

Rachel Gerber

Amazing views !!! The jump was so great and insane! I climbed the rocks which was a lot easier than the ladder

Joe Stainbrook

Make the drive, park your car, then walk south, and keep walking south until the end, a 10-minute walk ... now you're at the southernmost point of Hawaii and the US! The views are spectacular.

The southern most point in the US. Believed to be where the Hawaiians first landed between 400 and 800AD. Amazing view of nothing but ocean from this spot to Antarctica . Read more

It looks like you can jump in and you definitely can. There is a rope to bring you back up. But do so at your own risk.

Jeiran Hasan

Straight shot to Antarctica . Views are beautiful anywhere you decide to stop.

Arjun

Excellent sunset watching and star gazing. No entry fee.

Tarik Sultan

Definitely jump! It's a great experience and makes it worth the drive. Just wait and watch someone else to know where to jump and where to climb back up.

Kelsey Larson

Beautiful views ! Green sand beach very close by! Watch your step, steep cliffs plummeting to the ocean! A must see!

Was one of the best experiences of my life!

Plug your nose and keep your mouth closed or drink a gallon of seawater.

Hunter Pico

Jump off the top or you'll regret it!(Ladder out of ocean is just below)

Melody Ann Ross

Beautiful views though. We saw a pod of dolphins through the swarms of flies! FLIES ARE EVERYWHERE.

Julie Ziemelis

Climb down to the ocean and jump off the rocks.. You don't HAVE to jump 40 ft to swim !

See the water flowing past on its way to Antarctica .
