Halona Blowhole
Halona Blowhole is a rock formation and a blowhole on the island of Oahu, Hawaii off of Hanauma Bay. On windy days, the ocean breeze sends the waves rolling onto the shore where the rock formation then shoots sea spray high into the air through the cave acting like a geyser. Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago formed the natural occurrence known as the Halona Blowhole. The lava tubes extend into the ocean, and when the surf is just right, the mighty blowhole can shoot sea spray up to 30 feet high in the air It's not always at its best every day though, the best times to visit this beautiful landmark would be when the tide is high and it's a very windy day. This is a big tourist spot in Hawaii where people come to enjoy the beautiful scenery and in the winter it's the spot to go to see the humpback whale as they take their journey leaving the North Pacific or the Honu (The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) swimming about.

Halona Cove
Halona Cove is the small pit of sand just to the left of Halona Blowhole where tourists and locals can also enjoy a small beach while visiting the blowhole attraction and is great for swimming when the surf is very calm. At this particular location is where the kiss of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster took place in the film From Here to Eternity. Not only did these to actors share a kiss in 1953, but also Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler too shared a romantic first kiss in the movie 50 First Dates.

Dangers
This is also a very dangerous landmark where there have been numerous accidents and even deaths happening because people were too close to the hole and being carless not listening to the warning signs around the blowhole. They have proceeded to put locked gates up to keep people from going out onto the rock formation but tourists and locals still climb the fence like these two examples: the body of a Sylmer teenager was found after being pulled into the bowhole head first. He washed ashore 18 hours later. It was said that he was straddling the hole when the wave came and sent him head first into the ocean. The blowhole acts as like a geyser, the harder the wave the more forceful the water is shot out.
