Also known as Place of Refuge: this is a pleasant walk in a National Park and a nice place to learn about Hawaiian culture. There is a road past the park building that takes you along the rocky shoreline...nice spot for picnic or sunset viewing. It is also next door to popular snorkeling/dive site known as Two Step.
