No light pollution makes for FANTASTIC FOR STAR WATCHING UNDER THE MILKY WAY AND SOUTHERN CROSS!!! South Point is the very place where the first sea faring Polynesians (Hawaiians) came ashore so long ago and the region where the mightiest warrior, King Kamehameha trained in the Hawaiian arts. The land has strong Mana! (energy) On the way to Green Sands Beach you can still see remains of the rock hale's (houses) and stone Heiau's (temples) of these Ancient Hawaiian's. Our Neighborhood (South Point Road) is full of farms growing Macadamia nuts, coffee, and various other offerings. There are 2 quaint coffee shops in the town of Na'alehu (of which South Point is a part of) is so quaint with the famous Punalu'u Bakery, Ka'u coffee plantations, Hana Hau restaurant, gas and small store. It is about an 8 minute drive into the heart of Na'alehu. Na'alehu Farmers Market is on Wednesdays and Saturdays! You will see why Mark Twain loved it here! Volcano's National Park and Thurston Lava Tube is about a 40 minute drive. Kahuku National Park is 1.5 miles away. Green Sand Beach is at the bottom of our road, Punalu'u Black Sand Beach is about 15 minute drive and Whittington Beach Park is also down the road. Ocean View and Naalehu both have simple home style restaurants and each are about a 7 mile drive. For Groceries, if you are not stopping at Costco in Kona, then Ocean View is the best option as there are 2 large markets there to obtain groceries.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />TA-015-401-5744-01
