About This Place
The Mokulua Islands, off Lanikai Beach, form a State seabird sanctuary: Mokulua Nui to the north and the smaller Mokulua Iki to the south. Wedge-tailed shearwaters nest on both islets.
The sanctuary is restricted, so stay below the high water mark, and be off the islets by sunset, since they are closed until sunrise. Fires, dogs, camping, tents, tarps and other structures are never allowed.
DLNR lists birdwatching and kayaking here, and names the Hawaiian monk seal among the native animals, so if a seal or turtle is resting on the beach, leave it undisturbed. The islets are not on the State's list of lifeguarded beaches, so paddle out on a calm day and know your limits.
