Geocache Description:

Parking Coordinates: N21° 10.968 W157° 14.951

ATTENTION: If you take kekei (children) to find this cache, they need to be well supervised at ALL times! The no kids and dangerous area attribute symbols were not placed on this cache site to frighten any geocachers away, but to remind them to be cautious. This prominent and rocky headland south of Kepuhi Beach was once the location of a sacred (Heiau) gathering place and burial ground for the people on Molokai. It was also where Kahuna (Hawaiian priests) studied navigation. During this time, there were some very small Hawaiian villages along the shoreline. Later, the pineapple companies on Molokai had a cable tram to load pineapple onto barges anchored off Kai’aka Rock. The cement foundation, firebrick, and remnants of the original steam boiler are still visible. The top of Kai’aka Rock is a great place to view the island of Oahu on a clear day. You can also be rewarded with whales playing, beautiful sunsets over the Pacific Ocean breath-talking view of Papohaku Beach, the longest sandy beach in Hawaii (3 ½ miles) south of Kai’aka Rock and Kepuhi Beach to the north. Use the parking coordinates for your vehicle and then walk up the rough road in back of Kai’aka Rock. The access road to the top of Kai’aka Rock has a locked chain, preventing driving any vehicle to the top. Do not attempt to scale the side of Kai’aka Rock! Be careful and safe, especially with young children. Keep your eyes on them at all times! Also, do not swim on either Kepuhi or Papohaku Beach as they are both very dangerous and the current and undertow is very strong. At certain times, you may also experience the trade winds blowing very hard!
