South Point and Green Sand Beach Ka Lae (South Point) is the southernmost point in the U.S.A. ­ a wide-open, windswept expanse of grassland, cliffs, and lava. At the end of the point are a restored heiau (temple) and small museum; depart from here on the 4-mile roundtrip hike to Green Sand Beach, a dramatic cove with beach sand formed of eroded greenish olivine rock.
