Molokai Attraction Guide
Rock Point, also known as Pohakuloa, is a volcanic roadside landmark on east Molokai between mile markers 21 and 22 along Kamehameha Highway.
This rock formation is located right on Kamehameha Highway, between mile markers 21 and 22 (also see our page that describes this scenic drive). In the Hawaiian language it is also known as Pohakuloa, meaning the “long stone.” When the road along this shoreline was constructed at the base of the sea cliffs, this rock was left standing and the road was built between it and the sea cliff.
