Mokolii
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mokoliʻi is an 12.5 acre, 206 foot tall basalt island one-third of a mile offshore of Kualoa Point, Oahu. Geologically, it used to be connected to Oahu before erosion cut it off. It is also known as "Chinaman's Hat" for its likeness to the straw hats Chinese immigrants wore. Wedge-tailed Shearwaters are the only species of bird that nests here; previously there were a few.
Mokoliʻi is open to the public from dawn to dusk. On weekends it is somewhat a popular secret with tourists and locals. It can be accessed by kayak, boat, surfboard, or by foot during low tides; depth soundings are only four feet on its west side.[1] This may be dangerous during any other time or inclement weather.
