4.5Papohaku Beach Park(151 reviews) - Waves, Whales and Wonderful Memories State Parks • Beaches
Quiet, secluded, large waves and simply a wonderful experience is a description of this location. There is a public access area for patrons along with the homes on the beach. That stated very few people were seen on the beach. One of the days whales about a 1/2-1 mile off shore pods of whales were seen jumping out of the water. Could spend a whole day there enjoying the water and seclusion.See more..
Visitors assume that coconuts and the islands go together. They don't. Hawaii is too far by water for a coconut to remain viable floating here. Coconuts were brought to Hawaii by the early voyagers as one of their canoe plants. If you see coconut palms in the wild they were planted there. It might be along a trail as you'll see in the H-3 valley on Oahu. Or in this case they were planted for the king's refreshment when he visited Molokai. One caveat, don't go wandering around under the trees. They drop dangerous nuts and fronds. Ever notice the goats keeping the grass down? Enough said.See more..
4.5Palaau State Park(17 reviews) - Overlook to Kalaupappa State Park and Phallic Rock State Parks • Lookouts
This is a great place to visit if you don't plan on taking a trip down to Kalaupappa State Park...or even if you are as a preview for a trip. The highway ends at the park. There are two paths - go right for the one to the overlook, a short gentle walk to the highest sea cliffs in the world. Jaw dropping beautiful; go left for the .13 mile hike (with slight incline, exposed tree roots, and rocks) Suggest tennis/hiking shoes, although I made it in flip-flops. Beautiful forest area. Faculties available. Enjoy! See more..
