At Pala'au State Park you'll find the sacred Phallic Rock, hiking trails, and petroglyphs. Particularly impressive is the Kalaupapa Lookout with views of the peninsula of the same name.

It's a good 9 miles (about 1 hour) from Highway 460 in the center of the island to the breathtaking Waikolu lookout at 1,082 meters elevation. However, the road is only passable with a four-wheel-drive vehicle — during or after rain it can become critical, as you can easily get stuck in the mud. We were lucky, as the road was in good condition.

We continue on toward Mauna Loa. Just before the town, we bear right and turn off toward Papohaku Beach. An incredible surf pounds the shore here. Great for sunbathing and letting your gaze wander, but extremely dangerous for swimming.

For swimming, we drive a few miles further to a sheltered bay — Kapukahehu Beach. Watch out when crossing the "dry" riverbed. We broke through and got stuck knee-deep in mud — it was funny, but an incredible mess.
