Fun Facts

The blowhole is formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions, which shoot water up to 30 feet in the air when waves crash into them.

In Hawaiian, 'Halona' means 'lookout,' which is fitting given the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean from this spot.

The lookout has been featured in several movies, including the famous love scene from the 1953 film 'From Here to Eternity.'

Visitors are advised to stay behind the guardrails, as the blowhole can be dangerous, especially during high tide and strong surf conditions.

The lookout also provides a vantage point for spotting humpback whales during their migration season from December to April.

Halona Beach Cove, also known as 'Eternity Beach,' is a small, secluded beach located just below the lookout, accessible by a short hike.

The lookout is a stop along the Kalanianaole Highway, which offers a picturesque drive along Oahu's southeastern coast.
