Hālona Blowhole
Hālona Blowhole is a rock formation and a blowhole on the island of Oahu, Hawaii off of Hanauma Bay at Hālona Point overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In Hawaiian "hālona" means "lookout".
Description.
On windy days when the tide is high, the ocean breeze sends the waves rolling on to the shore where the rock formation then shoots sea spray high into the air through the cave acting like a geyser. The blowhole is most active when the tide is high and the winds are strong
at Hālona Point. The molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions that occurred thousands of years ago formed the natural occurrence known as the Hālona Blowhole. The lava tubes extend into the ocean which are narrow at the top, and when the surf is favorable, the blowhole can shoot sea spray up to thirty feet high in the air.
Hālona Cove.
Hālona Cove, called "Cockroach Cove" by the local population, is the small pit of sand close to Hālona Blowhole, and tourists and locals visit this small beach
