Papohaku Beach Park on the west end offers a small park and one of Hawaii&#8217;s longest white sand beaches. Many people walk or jog the road in that area because there is very little traffic and there are several accesses to other beaches. Also on the west end are a couple old dirt roads the have no traffic and lead to secluded beaches.<\/p>\n<p>One Ali&#8217;i Beach Park on the south shore is a large, open, grassy park with a beach that offers nice strolling.<\/p>\n<p>Near the Kalaupapa Lookout you&#8217;ll find a short trail through the forest to the phallic stone. A few hundred feet from the lookout parking area, you&#8217;ll find Pala&#8217;au State park.<\/p>\n<p>The trail down to the Kalaupapa Peninsula is a spectacular walk, but you must take the tour when you reach the bottom. If you&#8217;re on Molokai, a visit to Kalaupapa and the tour should not be missed. The tour costs about $50. Visitors must be at least 16 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Once a month the Nature Conservancy 808.553.5236, offers guided walks through the rain forest and also guided hikes of the dunes area of Mo&#8217;omomi.<\/p>\n<p>At about 14 miles east of Kaunakakai is a dirt road that leads to Ilili&#8217;opae Heiau, an ancient hawaiin platform temple used for human sacrfices. About a 1\/2 mile walk. Look for the hawaiian warrior sign on the highway.<\/p>\n<p>There are also guided hikes available to Moa Ula Falls in the Halawa Valley on the east end. About $75 for a five hour cultural hike.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-1576 \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">Can I go deep sea fishing?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmolokai.com\/wp\/author\/siteboss\/\" title=\"Posts by Jeffrey Jumper\" rel=\"author\">Jeffrey Jumper<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2015-05-02T23:19:49+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_1-1576\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-1\" data-target=\"#collapse-1-1576\" href=\"#collapse-1-1576\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Can I go deep sea fishing?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-1-1576\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_1-1576\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p>Yes you can.

It is a protected cove that offers safe swimming\/snorkeling except when the winter surf is very high.<\/p>\n<p>For all ocean activities on Molokai, EXERCISE CAUTION. A good basic rule is &#8220;If you don&#8217;t see local folks in the water, you probably don&#8217;t want to go in.&#8221; Be especially careful on the long Papohaku Beach.

Summers states;<\/p>\n<p>KAULEONANAHOA, PALA\u2019AU<\/p>\n<p>Kauleonanahoa, \u201cThe penis of Nanahoa,\u201d is a phallic stone which is situated slightly to the E of the southern brow of Nanahoa hill. Before the reforestation program was begun in this area in the 1930\u2019s, it could be seen standing prominently on the skyline for several miles from the S.<\/p>\n<p>Phallic stones are found on all the Hawaiian Islands, but this one is the finest example of such a stone. It has been carved to some extent, but how much the natural conformation of the rock contributed to tis present form cannot be determined. Stokes provided the following description of this stone:<\/p>\n<p>Except in its southern aspect, the stone has much the appearance of the head and anterior portion of a turtle. The head, inclined upward at an angle of 45o , is set on a short, nearly horizontal neck springing from a larger, semiglobular block partly in the ground. The tip is about 5 feet higher than the ground at the base, but as the ground drops away on the south, a view from this direction makes the stone appear much higher. In general appearance the head is sub-cylindrical, but on the northern side there is a weathered groove beginning near the tip and widening rapidly as it approaches the neck . . .<\/p>\n<p>The stone appeared to me to be a natural formation . . . There was, however, some artificial work on the stone, i.e. a slight hammering on a blunt ridge underneath the head, where the latter joined the neck; although the surface thus formed did not seem as ancient as the rest of the stone.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the name, and their recognition of the form, and the opinion that Nanahoa was probably a chief, I could get no history of the place from the few local natives remaining (Stokes, n.d.c.)<\/p>\n<p>Coelho also wrote an account of Nanahoa, in the Hawaiian newspaper Ka Nupepa Ku\u2019oka\u2019a; following is a translated excerpt.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning Kaunanahoa and his wife [Kawahuna] lived where the Nanahoa (stone) stands. One day, a peculiar but beautiful woman appeared and went up there. As she prayed and offered her gifts, she glanced up-ward and saw Nanahoa blinking his eyes at her. She climbed up to the top where the plain of Kaiolohia could be easily seen and there she peered into a small pool*. [*When there has been a heavy rain, a small pool is formed on the stone of Nanahoa at the base of the \u201cneck.\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>As she sat admiring the incomparable beauty of the small pool, Kawahuna\u2019s hands reached out and grabbed her by the hair. As they struggled, Nanahoa lost his temper and gave the woman whose right (husband) he was [Kawahuna] a hard slap. She staggered back and rolled down the cliff side into a depression at the foot . . .<\/p>\n<p>That was how they became separated to his day. Nanahoa stands alone on the hill and Kawahuna lies alone on the plain. What a pity. The husband was at fault and the wife suffered for it and both became stones to this day (1924b).<\/p>\n<p>It is said that if a woman goes to Kauleonanahoa with offerings and spends the night there, she will return home pregnant. According to Coelho\u2019s account, after the land had become barren due to the fighting of husbands and wives,<\/p>\n<p>. . . the few chiefs who remained saw that there was no people to gather to their presence and that the women did not give birth, the kahunas were asked to appeal to the gods for the race to revive. Through a revelation received, all the women who were not pregnant were commanded to go to Pu\u2019u Lua with their offerings to give to Kaunanahoa and his companion. They spent the night at the base of the wonderful (stone) and when they went home each was pregnant. Each had a bundle to cary home (Coelho, 1924b).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-1501 attractions \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">What are the beaches like?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmolokai.com\/wp\/author\/siteboss\/\" title=\"Posts by Jeffrey Jumper\" rel=\"author\">Jeffrey Jumper<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2019-05-01T21:05:27+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_1-1501\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-1\" data-target=\"#collapse-1-1501\" href=\"#collapse-1-1501\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What are the beaches like?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-1-1501\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_1-1501\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2-1 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Deserted, pristine, long, short, wide, narrow, white, tan, gray, black.

Here&#8217;s Why.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid 1800s leprosy (today called Hansen&#8217;s Disease) was brought to Hawaii by Chinese who came to labor in the sugar cane fields. Many Hawaiians were stricken with Ma&#8217;i Pake (the Chinese sickness). Since there was then no cure for the disease, strict isolation was the only means available to keep the disease from spreading.<\/p>\n<p>In 1866 the first sufferers were abandoned on Kalaupapa, a small peninsula on the north side of Molokai. Surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and with sea cliffs 2000 feet high on the fourth, Kalaupapa was a prison from which escape was impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Father Damien, a Belgian priest, came to Molokai in 1873 to minister to the needs of the dying. Through his ministry and labors, order was created where there had been only suffering and chaos. He succumbed to the disease in 1889.<\/p>\n<p>Sulfone drugs developed in the early 1940s, put the disease in remission and the carriers were no longer contagious. Today less than 20 residents call Kalaupapa home. The peninsula is now a National Historic Site administered by the US Park Service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-662 island-activities general-information \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">Can I visit Kalaupapa?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmolokai.com\/wp\/author\/siteboss\/\" title=\"Posts by Jeffrey Jumper\" rel=\"author\">Jeffrey Jumper<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2015-05-02T01:05:52+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_1-662\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-1\" data-target=\"#collapse-1-662\" href=\"#collapse-1-662\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Can I visit Kalaupapa?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-1-662\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_1-662\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p>While Kalaupapa is a National Historic Site, it is also the home of the few former patients who have chosen to remain there.

Most of the items in the stores have to be shipped from their point of manufacture to Honolulu, unloaded, reloaded on a barge and shipped to Molokai. This ups the retail price by 20 to 100%.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, room rates are, in most cases, lower than like accommodations on the other islands. You can have a nice condo that sleeps 4 comfortably for around $125 a night. Less per night for stays of a week or more.
