This secluded cape was home to a long-standing lighthouse that was built in 1933. The lighthouse replaces an earlier wood lighthouse from the 1800's. Unfortunately the lighthouse was demolised recently and replaced with a metal marker to signify it's history.

This state monument is free and open during daylight hours. You can explore one of the most famous sacrificial temples on the island! There isn't much shade out here, so plan accordingly!

One of the most spectacular locations on the north east coast. Can be achieved wonderfully. The bike is ideal, as numerous tourists clog the parking lots and streets here. A hiking trail/trail leads into the Sacred Valley. The entire land is sacred to Hawaiians and should be respected. Unfortunately, there is increasing pollution (littering) and overcrowding. Please respect cultural heritage and nature (see also: https://www.sfgate.com/travel/editorspicks/article/anger-proposed-development-Pololu-Valley-lookout-15964601.php) .
