Absolutely beatufiul, stunning views of Hawaii's east side from this seaside cliff/hangout spot. We recommend bringing a picnic, some music, and wathcing the sun go down. Note: Please be very, very careful jumping off the cliff. We see people get hurt (very hurt) all the time here! I personally have a large scar on my leg STILL from surfing this point. Be careful!
