La’ie Point or Laniloa, consists of sand Aston with several small islands off the coast. According to legend, the peninsula was once “Mo’o” or giant lizard. After the legendary warrior Kana his mother snatched from Moloka’i, he embarked on a journey to all Mo’o on the islands to kill. When he arrived La’ie, he defeated the Mo’o and chopped his head into five pieces, which he tossed into the ocean. Each piece of the lizard’s head can be seen today as one of the small islands off the coast. Their names were origianl Kihewamoku, Moluaaniwa, Pulemoku, Malualai and Keauakaluapaa. The names of the islands have changed over time. Today they are known as Mokualai, Kukuihoolua, Pulemoku, Mokuauia and Kihewamoku.
