Come here to witness Molokaʻi's busy commercial lifeline. OK, it's not that busy… a freight barge occasionally chugs in, skippers unload their catch of the day, and a local boat club practices for a canoe race. A roped-off area with a floating dock provides a place for kids to swim. Some of Moloka'i's fishing and ocean-based tours leave from here.
