Puʻu Ōlaʻi

“Earthquake hill”

Puʻu Ōlaʻi, "earthquake hill," is the red cinder cone that rises between Big Beach and Little Beach at Mākena. Legend says it is the tail of a giant moʻo, a lizard spirit, turned to stone by Pele.

From the trail on its slopes, Little Beach curls like a seashell and Kahoʻolawe floats across the water.
