Well written article about Shipman Beach and the hike along Old Puna Trail. I've been there often, but was surprised by several historical events that occurred on or around the property, for example:
... filmmaker Cecil B. Demille, one of the founders of the Hollywood motion picture industry, chose as the setting for his 1934 film, “Four Frightened People*.” The place is also memorialized in Hawaiian musician and hula dancer Helen Desha Beamer’s song, “Lei o Haena.” Amelia Earhart, Cole Porter and Paul Newman were guests at Haena, along with many other luminaries in politics, business and the arts.
The (Shipman) family bought the 65,000 acres from King Lunalilo’s estate after his death. In order to uphold the late king’s wishes to build a home for sick and elderly Hawaiians in Honolulu.
The photos are nice too.

I said, ‘Wrong, Justin (Trudeau), you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ - President Donald J. Trump, 3/14/18
