Lanai | 19 Once the largest pineapple plantation in the world at 20,000 acres, Lanai has embraced a whole new identity as a remote island retreat. Traffic lights are nowhere to be found on its mere 30 miles of road, and traversing routes like the Munro Trail—which leads from Lanai City through rainforest to Lanaihale, the island's highest peak—is best done on foot, bike, or four-wheel drive. On this island, Dole Park marks the center with shops, dining and entertainment, as well as memorials to the veterans of World War II and the Korean Conflict. Northward, a natural memorial can be found on Kaiolohia, nicknamed "Shipwreck Beach," where eight miles of rocky shores proved to be the undoing of several vessels... including one whose hull remains embedded into the coral reef, and is visible from shore. To the south is Puu Pehe, a rock formation with its own romantic legend and hypnotic views of spinner dolphins. Add to these untouched beaches stirring views of sunsets over Greg Norman-, Ted Robinson-, and Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, and it's easy to see why so many return to this little slice of paradise. lanai Hawaii's most enchanting island 440 440 44 Poaiwa Lanai Airport Shipwreck Beach Polihua Beach Keomuku Beach Hulopoe Beach Garden of the Gods P A C I F I C O C E A N Kolohi Channel Lanai City Kahokunui Kaumalapau Harbor Halepalaoa Landing Lanaihale Kaena Pt.
