If you google “most southern point in the US” you get multiple links to Key West, Florida which is the most southern point in the continental US.
But, this is the real deal.
Situated at the southern tip of the largest and youngest Hawaiian island, Ka Lae is believed to be the landing spot of the Polynesians who discovered and later colonized the islands.
In addition to the awesome view (can you see Antartica in the distance? *lol* ) this undeveloped stretch of coastline includes an ancient Polynesian burial ground and large rocks carved with mooring holes.
Next time you see someone from Key West, try not to gloat 🙂
