Molokai - Day 2: Halawa Bay to "Mile Marker 20"



There is one main road on Molokai running East/West about 30 miles. We stayed at the Western end of the island and in typical Hancock fashion began our adventures by hopping in the car and driving, destination unknown. We drove pretty much until we came to the end of the road and found ourselves at Halawa Bay. Much of the route was via a 1 lane road perched precariously along the cliff edge. Scary, but gorgeous!





Apparently most inhabitants left this area after a huge tsunami wiped away thier homes about 40 years ago. (That made me a little nervous...) A few folks still live in this valley, but overall, it's pretty quiet.

Later we worked our way back to "Mile Marker 20" where we found a great swimming beach.


Kate has gotten so good in the water, she's snorkeling with her sister!


So cool to see them exploring together!
We ended the day with a killer dinner at the Molokai Hotel...
