Kauai Hawaii - Spouting Horn

from gohawaii.com:

 

Ancient Hawaiians believed this coastline was once guarded by a giant moo (lizard) named Kaikapu. Everyone was afraid of the moo because it would eat anyone who tried to fish or swim in the area. One day a young boy named Liko entered the ocean to outwit the lizard. Kaikapu attacked him but Liko thrust a sharpened stick into her mouth, quickly swam under the lava shelf, and escaped through a small hole to the surface. The moo followed Liko and got herself stuck in the lava tube. To this day, you can hear the lizard’s roar and see her breath spraying from the hole.
