Ka'u - (population
5,827)
Ka’u is the largest and least populated
district on the Island. In the northeast corner, Volcanoes
National Park and the adjacent small village of Volcano exist
side by side at roughly 5,000 feet. Flowers and farming are
part of the economy here, though the tourism drawn to the
Kilauea volcano, now in its 20th year of continuous eruptions
is the prime economic engine.
At the southwest corner, the Discovery Harbor and Ocean View
(billed as the world’s largest subdivision) communities
were created for people who are looking for affordable year
round living and vacation getaways in Paradise. While slim
on a variety of services, there are several local restaurants
that serve the community and visitors. Here is South Point,
the southern most tip of the United States.
