Molokai Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Brad Wieners & The Editors

  • Hawaii's longest barrier reef cradles the south side of Molokai and teems with sea turtles, sharks, and seals.
  • Take your time. There's no rush on the island, which has no traffic lights or—even better—traffic.
  • Beware of strong winter currents; much of Molokai's surrounding waters are unprotected from rough winds.
  • Perk up on a mule-drawn wagon tour of local coffee plantations.

Molokai Overview
