Some of the most beautiful and spectacular scenery in Hana can be found at several local beaches.  Koki Beach has a stunning view of 'Alau Island, the site where legendary Maui first pulled the Hawaiian Islands out of the sea. Wonderful Hamoa Beach is located just around the corner from Koki.  The writer James Michener, famous for his novel on Hawaii, raved about the "perfectly formed" Hamoa Beach.
