Road to site seems like someone else’s driveway. Just before the house there is a turnoff. All very narrow. The viewpoint of the ocean is beautiful, however blowhole was quiet as there were no waves. A few benches are there to enjoy the view.

Long cut in the rock that drives waves upwards and out. Blow hole might not be accurate anymore but the view is great.
