This is a natural wonder- a dual lava tube that shoots a salt water spray 50 feet in the air, sounding off as it blows. Legend goes that this coast was guarded by a large mo'o, lizard, who ate everyone who tired to fish or swim here. One day, a man named Liko entered the water. When the mo'o went to attack him, he swam under the lava shelf and escaped through the hole. The mo'o became stuck and was never able to get out. The groaning is the cry of hunger and pain from the lizard still trapped under the rocks. A good place for sunset photography.
Warning: Stay off the lava rock shelf or risk being drenched.
