Known forSpitting CavePortlockocean blowholecliff viewpoint
Spitting Cave is a natural ocean blowhole and cliff viewpoint hidden at the end of Lumahai Street in the quiet Portlock neighborhood. The short but steep descent over old lava rock and dirt leads to dramatic ocean views and a bench overlooking the cliffs—sometimes you'll see the cave spray water, sometimes just mist, depending on conditions and tide. Wear sturdy, grip-soled shoes and watch your footing carefully, as the trail is uneven, slippery when wet, and has no railings or safety infrastructure.
