Unwind in Tropical Molokai
Molokai nightlife is all about relaxing after an adventurous day, chatting with the locals and participating in time-honored island traditions. Known as the “most Hawaiian island”, you won’t find any flashy nightclubs, trendy bars or posh lounges in Molokai. What you will find is the opportunity to experience some magical Molokai sunsets, walks along moonlit beaches and the island’s traditional festivities.
One of the most popular activities on Molokai is stopping to enjoy the vibrant sunset. The island’s year round warm weather allows visitors to view an unforgettable sunset on the beach any time of year. Grab a blanket and relax with the sand between your toes, refreshing breezes on your face and rich colors spread out in front of you. Kaunakakai Beach is a great place to enjoy a Molokai sunset and is also home to the MARC Molokai Shores. These oceanfront condos are located near many of the island’s best shopping spots and provide a long list of amenities. Guests can enjoy an evening at the pool, star gazing on the beach or grab a lime from one of the several lime trees on the premises and prepare a delicious Hawaiian cocktail.
Many Molokai nights can be spent participating and watching exciting hula shows. Known as the birthplace of hula, Molokai offers lively celebrations featuring this captivating Hawaiian art form. Legend has it that Lake, goddess of the hula, journeyed from Molokai to the rest of the islands sharing the graceful movements of hula with everyone who wanted to learn. Hula is full of spiritual meaning and presents Hawaiian history, traditions and genealogy in a beautiful way. Every year on the third Saturday in May, Molokai celebrates the Molokai Ka Hula Piko. Camping out on the Friday and Saturday nights of Ka Hula Piko is a common event that brings with it the smell of frying kole, a black reef fish and plenty of plate lunches. This annual festival draws in thousands of locals and visitors every year eager to enjoy hula performances, musical entertainment, Hawaiian crafts, special ceremonies and plenty of food.
Another island tradition is the Midnight Molokai Bread Run. Every night between 10:30 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. the Kanemitsu Bakery sells hot loafs of sweet bread from the back door. Located next to Imamura’s and Mango Mart the Kanemitsu Bakery offers guests bread straight from the oven. With toppings of your choice like blueberry, strawberry and cinnamon the bread is more like a dessert. Only Molokai hot bread is available at night but the bakery offers a wider selection when the front doors open at 5:30 a.m.
