Description
Mokolii, also known among locals as Chinaman’s Hat because of its shape, is a popular spot for taking pictures on Oahu’s windward coast. The small island is located at the north end of Kaneohe Bay, offshore of Kualoa Regional Beach Park.
Mokolii means “little lizard” in Hawaiian. It’s also called Chinaman’s Hat because of its cone shape, which resembles the peasant’s hat worn in rural China. Besides a few lonely palm trees and two small beaches, there isn’t anything else here. But it’s still a great place to visit if you like adventures and would like to have an island to yourself once in your life.

What a pretty shot of this small Island. I didn't know the alternate name...how appropriate. Nice composition.

I've been there so many times. We used to paddleboard to the island and camp out or just drink beer. Fun times. fave
