\nThis isolated peninsula is the land of Father Damien who will soon be declared a saint in a ceremony in Rome. The whole region is now a National Park of more than 10,000 acres of land.<\/p>\n
\nLocated on Molokai\u2019s southern coast, Kaunakakai\u2019s main street is lined with false-front stores resembling the Old West. The three-block long downtown area also features an outdoor market. Nearby is the wharf where boats arrive to bring the island\u2019s supplies.<\/p>\n
\nLocated in the restored R. W. Meyer Sugar Mill, the Molokai Museum and Cultural Center was originally constructed in 1878. Mules and a steam engine ran the original machinery. This is America\u2019s oldest restored sugar mill.<\/p>\n
\nLocated along Molokai\u2019s northeast coast, Halawa is a majestically beautiful valley, and one of the most scenic spots on Molokai. The steep-walled valley is about one-half mile wide and more than three miles long including two nice waterfalls. Where the valley meets the sea the double-scalloped Halawa Bay provides nice swimming and surfing.<\/p>\n
\nMoaula Falls is located at the head of Halawa Valley and plunges 250 feet down the mountain. Just north is Hipuapua Falls, which drops 500 feet. These falls are accessible by a guided, permitted hike.<\/p>\n
\nThis church was built by Father Damien<\/a> in 1876. Located in Kamalo about 10 miles east of Kaunakakai. St. Joseph\u2019s Church features a bronze statue of Father Damien. Visitors are welcome.<\/p>\n
\nSupporting various types of native Hawaiian ecosystems, the Kamakou Preserve includes bogs, shrublands, and cloud forests that provide habitat for endangered forest birds and other species. Also in the Preserve is the 4,961-foot peak of Kamakou, which is Molokai\u2019s highest point.<\/p>\n
\nLocated along Molokai\u2019s northwest coast, the Dunes of Moomomi support many endangered plants and important cultural sites.<\/p>\n
\nThis is the site of the site of the crash landing of the plane of navigator Emily Bronte and airmail pilot Ernest Smith, the first civilians to fly to the Hawaiian Islands from the United States Mainland (Oakland, California). The 1927 flight covered about 2,200 miles in 26 hours and 36 minutes in their 27-foot monoplane named The City of Oakland.<\/p>\n
\nLocated east of Kaunakakai, this Catholic church was built in 1966. It is a reconstruction of the original church that was built there in 1874 by Father Damien.<\/p>\n
\nThis beautiful 3-mile long beach along Molokai\u2019s western coast is one of the longest white-sand beaches in Hawaii. Use caution if you visit, however, as there may be very dangerous currents.<\/p>\n
\nMolokai has among the highest sea cliffs in the world, rising more than 3,000 feet almost straight up from the ocean along the island\u2019s northern shore. One of Hawaii\u2019s highest waterfalls is Molokai\u2019s Kahiwa Falls, plunging more than 1,700 feet down the cliffs.<\/p>\n
\nMolokai is the site of the largest number of ancient fishponds anywhere in Hawaii. More than 60 are found just along the eastern shore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
