The people of Molokai help the island live up to its name as being the Friendly Isle. With only a few small towns and lots of natural beauty you’ll find it to be the ideal example of Hawaii at its simplest. But simple doesn’t imply boring. Simple here means no worries. Molokai puts the relax back into vacations.
Kalaupapa Peninsula is a National Historic Site for interesting reasons. Its history is quite dark and sad as it was the location of a leprosy settlement, headed by the Belgian Priest Father Damien. Its scenery is incredible. The 2000 ft cliffs stand as a striking backdrop while the peninsula has rough waters filled with sharks. Although its past is filled with sadness, today Kalaupapa Peninsula showcases its beauty proudly. Please note that you need be part of a guided tour to visit this fascinating site.
Papohaku Beach is one of the most fantastic beaches Hawaii has to offer. It stretches close to three miles and because it’s in Molokai you’ll be able to enjoy its beauty without all the crowds. Moomomi Beach is the place to go to try and spot a few sea turtles. Don’t confuse it with Moomomi Bay – the beach is about 20 minutes away. Halawa Beach Park is a local favorite, especially for surfers. You’ll also find the Halawa Falls close by. It may be a good idea to rent a car and tour as much of this island as you can. It really does showcase some of the best that Hawaii has to offer.
