This is Molokai's only real tourist resort as the west coast has the only good sand beaches on the island. The resort, opened in 1977 and covering over 6,700 acres, , consists of a hotel and two condominiums, a 18-hole golf course and a restaurant.

Kepuhi Beach fronts the hotel but is not the best beach on the west side. Walk north across the gold course to Pohaku Maulini, a small sandy beach sheltered by a blackened cinder cone. The water here is deep and great for snorkeling.

A mile farther north is Kawakiuniu and Kawakiuki, two more sheltered bay swimming areas. Across the Kaiwi Channel, 26 miles away, the lights of Honolulu can be seen twinkling at night.

Just south of the resort is a massive basalt outcropping that juts out into the ocean known as Kaiaka Rock. Puu o Kaiaka, an ancient heiau, was once situated here but has since been destroyed.

Today, remnants of a cable-car and wench used to transport the Libby pineapple crop to offshore ships, sits on the site.
