About Molokai

Molokai is the least visited of the main Hawaiian islands: 38 miles long, with one town, no traffic lights and a shoreline that runs from Papohaku’s three miles of sand on the west end to the small coves along the road to Halawa Valley. There is no resort strip; most visitors come for the quiet, the hiking and the beaches.

The beach guide below comes from our earlier Hawaii site, with notes on swimming conditions, facilities and access for each beach.
