Halepalaoa
- 1. Beach, landing, Halepalaoa, Lānaʻi. Narrow calcareous sand beach that was the site of a former landing for the short-lived Maunalei Sugar Plantation (1899-1901) at Keōmuku. The only evidence of the landing are a few pilings in the ocean. A narrow-gauge railroad connected the plantation to the landing. In the underbrush near the landing are the ruins of a warehouse and some remnants of the railroad, including a locomotive and its tender, a boiler, and several handcarts.
- 2. Monument, Halepalaoa, Lānaʻi. Stone monument on Keōmuku Road south of the landing that is a memorial to the Japanese plantation workers who died at Keōmuku during the bubonic plaque of 1900. The Buddhist community on Lānaʻi holds a memorial service here once a year.
Literally, whale house, or ivory house.
