Lonely Planet review for Halona Blowhole

Heading east from Hanauma Bay, the road skirts past several lookouts and the geographical oddity of the Halona Blowhole. Here the water surges through a submerged tunnel in the rock and spouts up through a hole in the ledge. It's preceded by a gushing sound, created by the air that's being forced out by the rushing water. The action depends on water conditions - sometimes it's barely discernible, while at other times it's a showstopper.

Down to the right of the parking lot is Halona Cove, the little beach where the classic risqué love scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity was filmed in the 1950s. A small stone monument atop Halona Point was erected by Japanese fisherfolk to honor those lost at sea.The blowhole is 1.75 miles past Hanauma Bay.
