Shipwreck Beach — Attraction in Lānaʻi

Definitely recommend renting a Jeep or other 4x4 vehicle to drive all the way to the beach. If you rent from 808 Day Trip then you are not allowed to drive past the end of Keomuku Road and you must walk the rest of the way.

The beach is not a tourist beach you may be accustomed to but we could see for miles with not a soul in sight. That's right, we had the beach to ourselves. It was surreal to be out there all alone with such a beautiful view of Molokai'i. A must...

A short and bumpy ride from the Garden of the Gods brought us to shipwreck beach, wherein the distance we could see the remains of a ship that was purposefully, but unsuccessfully sunk during WWII. Off in the far distance, Moloka'i is visible to the north and Maui to the East. On our visit, we saw several sea turtles just yards offshore...
