Halona Cove

November 7th, 2012 · No Comments

After snorkelling and hanging out at Haunama Bay, I went to pick Dallas up from golf at Hawaii Kai Golf Course. I remembered when I dropped him off that there was a blowhole along the drive, so I decided to stop. This was the Halona Blowhole and unfortunately it was doing nothing!

I didn’t know it at the time, but this is Halona Cove. I guess locals call it “cockroach cove.” It’s been the backdrop of many movies, like:

From Here to Eternity:

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (#4):

50 First Dates:

Most recently, Nicki Minaj’s Starships video was filmed at Halona Cove:

I think the whole point of this scenic overlook was the blowhole, but I stood and looked at the Halona Cove for so much longer. Also, when I turned to go back to the car I saw Koko Crater, an awesome sight as well!
