Milolii: Last fishing village in Hawaii.

Situated at the bottom of a 1926 lava flow 33 miles south of Kailua-Kona, Miloli'i is purported to be "the last Hawaiian fishing village" according to a wooden sign in their community center.[1]

Without access to power lines or water, each house provides its own electricity and water with solar panels and tanks that collect rain water.

In keeping with their traditionalist attitude, the residents of Miloli'i enjoy their seclusion and are generally not desirous of tourist attention. They will, however, sell their catch at reasonable prices.
