Located on Molokai's north-west shore, Pohakumauliuli Beach features two white-sand beach coves and a few large tide pools. The nearby large red-faced hill is very old, partially collapsed volcanic cinder cone called Pohaku Mauliuli, which means “black rock” in the Hawaiian language. Some red in the rocks are from the iron content of the lava. You can see many interesting ancient lava flows some looks like they are frozen in time from the interaction of molten lava and the ocean.

Murphy's Beach on Molokai's southeast shore, a narrow white-sand beach shaded by a few palm trees and snorkeling can be ok. The advice is "Stay close to shore because outside of the reef area the currents can be treacherous." > www.to-hawaii.com/molokai/beaches/murphys-beach.php
