After a slow drive over cliff country, there suddenly was spread before my eyes the most intensely desolate, the wildest, the most starkly dramatic beach I have ever seen & Lelekea (a cowboy at Kaupo informed me) four battered, gray boats on a black beach of wave-smoothed boulders (6 - 12 inches across), a high, mighty red headland in the background, dark gray waves in the wind. 

Kaupo – little village, a store, at the base of Kaupo Gap. Magnificent green Haleakala slopes & gulches in back of the village. 

Hamoa – off Hana – black pebble beach, lava island off the coast, windy sandy plain, Hawaiians, fishing shacks, a great red hill facing the sea. I should like to live there.
