Hawaii
Wow! - State
"Meet my little fren' - Molokini."
What? You were expecting to see a whole bunch of islands on the State page? Well, sorry about that. (Not really.) Some call Molokini an island, others an islet. Anyway, it's a volcano cinder cone that just pokes above the ocean about 2.5 miles from Maui.
What's cool is that it's been called one of the world's top snorkeling and diving spots with about 250 species of fish. Beginners stick to the inside; pros can try the deep, deep, deep backside.
You get there by boat . . . but no humans are allowed on the land because it's a state-protected marine and bird sanctuary. So wear a bikini to Molokini, but unless you can flap and fly, or swim for miles underwater, no touching allowed.
