Coral Miracle Church
This unique looking church is located just off the Road To Hana in the tiny village of Wailua. The church is made entirely of coral and gets its unusual name from a "miraculous" storm that in 1860, pitched up the coral of the building's construction on a nearby beach. Some of the pieces had to be retrieved by hand from the depths of the ocean. A further miracle helpfully lapped up the leftover coral, clearing the beach again.
This was the second of 2 coral churches that we visited on the island. Out of all the churches we saw, this one was my second favorite.
Unlike the other churches that we visited, this one was actually open, and we were able to go inside.
