Nā Mokulua (meaning, in Hawaiian, "the two islands") are two islets off the windward coast of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. They are also commonly known as "The Moks" (rhymes with "smokes") or the "Twin Islands". The islets are often photographed, and are located about .75 miles off Lanikai, a neighborhood of Kailua, Hawai‘i.

The larger island (on the left when looking from Lanikai) is Moku Nui and the smaller, Moku Iki. They are part of the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary and activities on them as well as off-limit areas on them are regulated by law^[1]. Specifically, the smaller islet, Moku Iki, is off-limits to visitors, as is the interior of Moku Nui. Also, no pets are allowed. Many birds nest on ground burrows on the islands.

The two islands are very popular with local seafaring persons who have access to a motorboat, kayak, or outrigger canoe. Moku Nui has a cove on the side facing away from O‘ahu, and a white sand beach on the side facing O‘ahu.

North and north-east ocean swells create good surf breaks for longboards, stand up paddle boards and outrigger canoes at "Wraps", "Dogbowls" and "Catbowls".
