Moloaʻa Beach, Crescent-shaped beach in Kauaʻi County, US
The golden sand beach stretches along a curved bay bordered by dense tropical vegetation and coral reefs that protect the swimming area.
The beach gained national recognition when it served as the filming location for the pilot episode of the television series Gilligan's Island in 1964.
Local residents maintain traditional Hawaiian fishing practices in the waters of Moloaʻa Bay, preserving centuries-old methods of sustenance.
Visitors need to bring all necessary supplies as the beach lacks facilities, and parking is limited to designated spots along Moloaʻa Road.
The reef configuration creates distinct swimming zones, with calm waters in the protected inner bay and stronger currents near the outer edges.
