Someday I hope to live within bicycling distance of this location and to be a member of the Kailua Canoe Club. We're looking toward the Mokulua islands from Kailua beach on the windward side of Oahu. The Mokes consist of two cone-shaped volcanic islets, Moku Nui or North Mokulua and Moku Iki or South Mokulua, off the coast adjacent to Lanikai, Kailua. Moku Nui is the larger of the two and is separated from Moku Iki by a shallow channel 200 feet wide.
I've kayaked out to Moku Nui several times. It has sheer cliffs, fringed by narrow, rocky benches at sea level, on the northern, eastern, and southeastern sides. Two peaks connected by a narrow ridge form the east half. To the west, a broad slope extends down to a level terrace, bordered by a sandy beach where you can land your kayak in good weather.
