Mokolii
As you drive the windward and northern shores along Kamehameha Highway, a number of interesting geological features come into view. At Kualoa, look to the ocean at the uniquely shaped little island of Mokolii ("little lizard"), a 206-foot-high sea stack also known as Chinaman's Hat (for its hat-like shape). According to Hawaiian legend, the goddess Hiiaka, sister of Pele, slew the dragon Mokolii and flung its tail into the sea, forming the distinct islet. Other dragon body parts—in the form of rocks, of course—were scattered along the base of nearby Kualoa Ridge. Adventurous (and fit) folks can kayak out to Mokolii and scale its rocky sides, though it's not the easiest climb.
