Hale o Lono
1. Beach, Hale o Lono, Molokaʻi. Long, narrow calcareous sand beach to the west of the harbor. 2. Small Boat Harbor, Hale o Lono, Molokaʻi. Facilities include undesignated moorings. Construction of the harbor by Honolulu Construction and Draying Company, Ltd. (now Ameron Hawaiʻi) began in 1959 and was completed several years later. It includes an entrance channel, two breakwaters, and a turning basin. Commercial use of the harbor proved to be of marginal value due to heavy surges from seasonal high surf, and it was eventually abandoned. The harbor has been the staging area and starting line for the annual Molokaʻi to Oʻahu outrigger canoe races since 1963. Kawākiu was the site of the original start. Also known as Lono Harbor. 3. Surf site, Hale o Lono, Molokaʻi. Off the west side of the harbor. Also known as Lono's. Lit., house of Lono. Heiau with this name for the worship of the god Lono are found on all of the islands.
