ABOUT MOLOKAI
Molokai is 40 miles long and 15 miles wide, located between Oahu and Maui in the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. There is one main road extending from western to eastern Molokai. Northshore Molokai is inaccessible except by zodiac or difficult day-long hike.
Our mixed ethnic population of 7,000 proudly call Molokai home. We enthusiastically defend our very rural lifestyle. There are no crowds, no malls and even no traffic lights on Molokai. Basic necessities are available here, but for the city, shopping and entertainment, residents can take the 20 minute plane trip departing frequently to Honolulu.
The ancient Molokai population base was in the east valleys where taro grew (in well-designed waterways) and along the southeastern shores near the numerous fishponds reaching into the ocean. Now Kaunakakai in central Molokai is the hub of our island.
Molokai's Papohaku Beach is perhaps Hawaii's most beautiful beach -- wide, seldom-visited, extending 2+ miles. Nearby Kaluakoi Resort is a wonderful place to get away from the modern rat-race.
Molokai is called "the friendly isle."
Molokai is said to be the birthplace of the hula.
Along Northshore Molokai is Kalaupapa peninsula, noted for Father Damien's ministering to Hansen's Disease patients in the 1800's.
Oahu is visible from Molokai. The famous Molokai to Oahu canoe races take place across this rough water channel.
Maui is very close to Molokai. Windsurfers are known to occasionally cross this channel.
