Still evidencing the tribal, village centered roots of Luluhawan culture, the largest town on the island has been built on a tall plateau, just out of reach of the worst storms buffeting the island during the wet season. This stability allowed trade and culture to flourish, and still stands today as the island's main hub, where visitors can find warm, hospitable lodgings and delicious cuisine.

The most popular beach on the island, it stretches across most of its southern coast, drawing from one end of the island to the other across the front of the largest city. With shimmering blue seas on one side and lush, verdant wilderness on the other, this warm, sunny slice of paradise welcomes both locals and tourists alike. The fine, pure white sand is even said to have therapeutic properties.

A more recent construction owing to influences from tourists and immigrants alike, the beach houses adorn the seaside at sparse locations along the coastline, to be rented by those interested. Most of the beach houses are relatively isolated, allowing the more reserved residents the kind of peace and quiet they might not experience in Halawai Town.

The lush, verdant jungles running across the vast majority of the island. With the sea to one side and the mountainous interior to the other, the forest harbors most of the life in the land, including a variety of villages at various locations. Devoid of man eating predators and teeming with life, the forest holds as much reverence in the Luluhawans' mind as the sea, with its strong wood capable of supporting the hardiest of fishing vessels.

The still active volcano that first formed Luluhawa Island millions of years ago, this hot spot attracts tourists and locals alike, with many brave men and women venturing right up to the edge of the volcano. Eruptions are rare, and violent ones nearly unheard of. When the lake of lava overflows, it runs freely along the slope of the mountain all the way down to the sea, creating new land in the process.

A remote little islet a few kilometers offshore, untamed and uninhabited. Able bodied youngsters challenge themselves as they attempt to swim there, while others less so simply wait for the right time of day, at a specific time of the month where the tide gets low enough for a land bridge to reveal itself. Revered as the home of the island's guardian, while the locals freely visit to prove themselves or pay their respects, they are not allowed to settle there.

Board Description
Luluhawa Island
Aloha! The oldest of Luluhawan chants describes the Luluhawa Island, the spirits that inhabit them, the forces of nature that shaped them, and all the living things upon them as inextricably connected. This sense of connection is the foundation of Luluhawan culture: understanding that they all have a mandate to care, to care for their environment and for one another. The spirit is expressed through chant, music, hula, arts, cultural practices, and the warm, genuine greetings that are a hallmark of Luluhawan hospitality.
