Kepuhi Beach, Molokai
Kepuhi Beach, located on Molokai’s west coast, is a long and wide sandy beach. Even though the beach looks inviting, swimming is only safe here on very calm days because of strong alongshore currents that can be treacherous.
In the winter months or when the surf is up, the entire length of the beach gets pounded by high waves with dangerous shorebreaks. This is when powerful rip currents occur. Sometimes the waves are good enough for bodyboarding or surfing, but only for experts.
During extended periods of heavy surf, the waves often times erode the beach and flush the sand out to sea, exposing large beach rocks.
Although the beach has shower facilities, there are no restrooms or picnic pavilions available. To reach Kepuhi Beach, drive west on Highway 460. From there, take Kauakoi Road and then go right.
