Nā Mokulua (meaning, in Hawaiian, "the two islands") are two islets off the windward coast of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. They are also commonly known as "The Moks" or the "Twin Islands". The islets are located about .75 miles off Lanikai, a neighborhood of Kailua, Hawai‘i and are often photographed. The larger island is Moku Nui and the smaller, Moku Iki. They are part of the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary and activities on them as well as off-limit areas on them are regulated by law^[1]. The two islands are very popular to local seafaring persons who have access to a motorboat, kayak, or outrigger canoe. Moku Nui has a cove and a white sand beach. North and north-east ocean swells create good surf breaks for longboards, stand up paddle boards and outrigger canoes at "Wraps", "Dogbowls" and "Catbowls"
