The overlook of the Kalaupapa Peninsula and the settlement is located at Pala'au State Park. The overlook sits at an elevation approximately 1600 feet above the peninsula at the edge of the steep north-shore pali cliffs of Molokai. The 233-acre heavily wooded park is located at the end of Highway 470, about 10 miles northwest of Kaunakakai, Molokai. The park has a campground for tent camping in an ironwood and eucalyptus grove, plus a large covered picnic pavilion. At the overlook, there are wayside exhibits with information about the park, and the visitor has an excellent view of the Kalaupapa Peninsula.
