Molokai - the Island

Molokai ( mō'lōkī'), island ( pop. 7,400 - 8,000 approx.), 261 sq mi (676 sq km), Maui County, Hawaii, between Oahu and Maui islands. Molokai is generally mountainous, with Mt. Kamakou (4,970 ft/1,515 m) the highest peak. On the north coast, separated by a rocky mountain wall from the rest of the island and accessible only over a 2,000-ft (610-m) pass, is the Kalaupapa peninsula, on which a Hawaiian government leper (Hansen's Disease) colony exists (est. 1860).

Molokai is approximately 38 miles long by 10 miles wide.

The large Molokai Ranch occupies roughly one third of the island.

The chief port is Kaunakakai.
