Take Maunaloa Highway (460) west to mile 15 where you turn onto Kaluakoi Road. Follow Kaluakoi Road to Papohaku Beach Park (about 7 miles).
Located on an easy drive to the west side of Molokai. It was easily accessible and parking was ample and flat. We were the only people at the beach at noon on a weekday in March. This is not a swimable beach. Watch children closely. The waves are mezmerizing and clearly unpredictable. From the parking lot, it is an easy, short, level walk thru a beautiful shaded park with bathrooms, outdoor shower, picnic tables and charcoal grills. The sand is soft and squishy then slopes down toward the shoreline where the sand is firm and walkable. A few shells lay in the tide wash areas. Be careful of waves that wash away your footing. The colors of blue in the water are beautiful.
Huge sand beach with plenty of room. We were the only ones there in the middle of the day, but even with other people, there's plenty of room to spread out.
If it's too windy though, the sand is so fine, it will feel like pellets hitting you so keep an eye on the wind.
The water is fairly cold, potentially harsh, not always the best to swim in, especially for kids. But at times and in certain areas, it is safe to go in the water.
Huge sandy beach with good restrooms and lots of parking. Also picnic areas under shade trees. Beach is good for sunbathing or walking but not for swimming or snorkeling. Waves are big and shoreline is big long rocks - looks beautiful when the waves hit them. Lots of room to spread out - on windy days the sand will pelt you. Bring shoes, lots of prickly thorns until you get to the sand.
Wow this beach is the lost beautiful I've seen white sands blue water waves aren't that big but do t underestimate the under tow be safe when you out there
