On the south side, at Ka'ena State Park, a paved road passes a beach before terminating into an unpaved road. It continues for a few miles, after which the road is washed out, and further travel must be on foot. It is not possible to travel around the point in a vehicle, and such vehicles must be equipped with four wheel drive, and be relatively narrow. A winch is also recommended. The road is better described as a "path" in most places, and is lined on one side with a cliff and on the other with lava rocks which are quite capable of damaging vehicles. The road is littered with garbage, both of the normal consumer garbage type and vehicle parts -- motors, suspension, tires, wheels -- as well as entire abandoned vehicles.
