Miloli’i is an unincorporated community on the island of Hawaii in the U.S. state of Hawaii, 33 miles south of Kailua-Kona. The village is situated at the seacoast where the 1926 lava flow from Mauna Loa entered the ocean.
Miloli’i is purported to be “the last Hawaiian fishing village” according to a wooden sign in their community center. Without access to power lines or water, each house provides its own electricity and water with solar panels.and tanks that collect rain water.
On February 5, 1868 a tsunami carried a church, named Hau’oli Kamana’o and swept it away to Miloli’i. Surprisingly, the church remained in good condition and still stands in Miloli’i today.

Where do you connect, where do you feel “home”? We are the same and at the same time different. I am grateful for all those places and all of the people who bless me.

new settlement?
Our last day together, a morning drive down the coast a little further than the last time past 2 Step. Traveling on the Mamalahoa Highway (means
“Guardian of Kamahameha”)- the Hawaii Belt Road we come to a sign “Milolii Road”, take it, there’s no plan, the road less traveled, eh? The drive down from 1,100 feet takes as long as the drive to get to the turn, around and around, back and forth, like the ocean that moved me last night swimming at the beach. Just relax, go with it, no hurry, no worry. A saying from the lu’au was you come to the islands one way and you left with “more power and more love”. So here we are, our last morning sharing this experience. With my sister! We turn and go down and around. What a surprise!
