Beach, beach park, surf site, Hālawa, Molokaʻi. Hālawa is one of six coastal valleys on Molokaʻi's north shore and was formerly a fishing and commercial taro farming community. It is the only one of the valleys that is accessible by road. The tsunamis of 1946 and 1957 destroyed the taro patches and marked the end of commercial taro farming. Hālawa Beach is actually two detrital sand beaches, one on either side of the rocky point in the middle of the bay. The beach to the west of the point was called Māʻalaea and is used as an anchorage and boat launching site. The beach to the east was called Kāwili. The surf site is off the point in the center of the bay. Facilities in the beach park were built in 1968. Lit., curve.
