The Last Dunes In Hawaii - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 02-28-2020
From this week's edition of Hakai Magazine, a look at old, old, old Hawaii. What it may have been like long before humans argued about who did what first.
Mo‘omomi is unlike any place I’ve seen in Hawai‘i. Vibrant green vegetation spurts out from the dunes, framing the beach and providing a stark contrast to the cream-, orange-, and rust-colored sand and stone and to the crashing whitecaps. These dunes are more than sand. Some of the plants solely exist here. For some insects, this place is their last refuge from extinction. For some seabirds, extirpated centuries ago, it’s become a haven for nesting again.

Molokai is an amazing place. I've only been there once but the unspoiled beauty is astounding. The residents are friendly and polite. How it's dodged tourism I'll never figure out.
