About this site
Pohue Canyon lies along the southwest coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, in the district of Kau, an area of relatively remote coastline south of Kona. This stretch of shoreline sits on lava rock terrain typical of the island's leeward side, with access generally requiring a boat rather than shore entry.
