Just off the northeast coast of Lanai, visitors can see a couple of shipwrecks that "crashed" into the island at Shipwreck Beach. The most famous wreck is the Liberty Ship, which dates back to World War II. Visitors to Shipwreck Beach can easily view the partially submerged wreckage of the Liberty Ship from the foundation of the lighthouse just above the reef. It is a surreal site - a massive 60 year old rusted out oil tanker "floating" about 1500 feet of the shore of a deserted tropical beach on Lanai, with the island of Molokai in the distance, across the Kalohi Channel.
Getting to the beach requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle or a 2 mile hike.
