South Lanai
The southern tip of Lanai is marked by Palaoa Point. This is the site of the ancient Kaunolu Village where Hawaiians lived for thousands of years. The waters off this coast are rich for fishing and a freshwater stream flows through the nearby Kaunolu Gulch. A small sea arch is seen near the point formed by lava flowing rapidly into the sea. As the lava quickly cooled with the sea water, the rock became weak. After hundreds or thousands of years, the rock collapses and forms an arch or even a sea cave. A lighthouse stands watch over the point protecting ships from beaching themselves on the numerous reefs nearby.
Directions:
Take Highway 440 west out of Lanai City toward Kaumalapau Harbor. Go past the airport turnoff and take the next left Kaupili Road, an unmarked dirt road. Travel approximately 2.5 miles to a yellow standpipe (see last picture on this page) on the right. Turn right on this rocky road which descends downhill about 3 miles to Kaunolu Village and the point.
Useful Information:
There are many beautiful and historical sites in this region but it can only be accessed by a 4-wheel drive vehicle
Good fishing
No facilities anywhere nearby
