Description

'a'ohe pau ka 'ike i ka hālau ho'okahi . . not all knowledge is gained in one house . .
Kulia i ka nu'u . . strive for the highest . .
Ma ka hana ka 'ike . . Knowledge is gained by doing . .
E 'olelo pono kakou, e hana me ka 'oia 'i'o . . Let us speak at all times with goodness . . righteousness . . let us work with sincerity . .
Quote from the book 'Olelo No'eau by the great Hawaiian scholar Mary Kawena Pukui with 2942 proverbs collected and translated by Kawena between 1910 and 1960


Kōkī is a very special place and in the eastern shadows of Haleakala at sunset so the light is always best in the morning and early in the day. Kaiwi O Pele cliffs overlook the beach framed by naupaka bushes and the Keawe and Ironwood trees but you must be very careful as the cliffs are much higher than they appear and the sliding sands along with large boulders and cinder may fall on you if you get too close to the edge. The luxurious sands are a beautiful burnished golden volcanic red brown and the shelf is relatively shallow for several hundred feet . . if you are brave you can walk out into the ocean or body surf but there are many rocks and possibly sharks as it is open ocean and it can often be very dangerous so I wouldn't advise it . . also you must beware of strong riptides. Many people have drowned here . . it is a special place and a very beautiful beach . .

I do love Kōkī . .

Kaiwi O Pele is the remnant of a volcanic vent on the east rift zone of Haleakalā on the Island of Maui. Kōkī Beach is a few miles south of Hāna . .
