Rabbit Island

Less than a mile off of South Shore Oahu sits the beautiful Manana Island State Seabird Sanctuary, a 63 acre volcanic tuff also known as Rabbit Island. There is a small beach about 30 feet wide on the southwest side of the island. It is over 360 feet at its highest point and can be seen from a variety of locations on South Shore Oahu, including Kaupo Beach, Waimanalo Beach Park and Makapu'u Lookout.

History

Rabbit Island was named after the rabbit colony that inhabited the island from the 1880s until 1994. John Adams Cummins, who owned a plantation in Waimanalo, raised the rabbits on Manana Island.
