  1. References

Moloaʻa Bay is on the northeast shore on the island of Kaua{{okina}}i in Hawaii. The bay is {{convert|0.44|mi|m}} long.[1]

The name comes from molo a{{okina}}a in the Hawaiian language which means "matted roots". Paper Mulberry trees (Broussonetia papyrifera, or wauke in Hawaiian) once grew so thickly that the roots were interwoven.[2] The Moloaʻa Stream empties into the north end of a beach which is backed by high cliffs.[3]

Uphill from the bay is the Moloaʻa State Forest Reserve.[4]

Moloaʻa Bay had one of the highest runups in Kaua{{okina}}i during the April 1, 1946 tsunami from the 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake. It experienced one of the highest wave amplitudes: {{convert|11.5|m|ft|sp=us}}.[5][6]

Some scenes in the Gilligan's Island pilot were filmed in Moloaʻa Bay.[7]
