At this point, Highway 56 begins making its turn on to the island's north shore.  Before mile marker 17, signal and turn right on the first Ko'olau Road to head for beautiful little Moloa'a Beach.  Look for Moloaa Road and drive to the end for beach access. Swim at Moloaa only when the seas are calm.  The pilot and first episode of everyone's all-time favorite Gilligan's Island was filmed right here on Moloa'a, where the S.S. Minnow was "tossed".
