This is not a park, despite what Google may say. It is actually private property. If you're unsure, check the Maui County tax map to see who owns the "public parks" and "beaches" in the area. Google's information is incorrect, leading tourists to unknowingly trespass on private property. To support locals and avoid any issues, consider hiring a tour guide.

This beach is perfect for relaxing and snorkeling, but not ideal for swimming. I even spotted a puffer fish, but unfortunately didn't have my phone to capture the moment.

Kumimi Beach, located on the east coast of Molokai, is a stunning crescent-shaped beach that is perfect for families with young children. The calm and shallow water makes it a safe spot for kids to swim, and the beach is home to a variety of sea life such as colorful fish, crabs, and sea turtles. The beach is well-maintained, surrounded by lush vegetation, and has a shallow protected area for little ones to play in. However, there are no lifeguards on duty and the beach can be windy at times. Overall, Kumimi Beach is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Molokai with your family.

This beach on the East end of Moloka'i is one of the few remaining with sandy shores. From here, you can enjoy a stunning view of Maui and Lana'i in the distance. Parking is available along the sandy edge and shoulder of the main road. It's a popular spot for locals to unwind with their children and go snorkeling, but be cautious of the strong current.
