I had heard that oceanfront access was legal to anyone, but as a tourist, I felt vulnerable to neighbors in the region, who may feel that I was a nuisance/danger to them. It appears that this purely Hawaiian situation could have two edges - vandalism to either ones home or ones vehicle! Maybe if we routinely knock on the doors where these signs are posted, and spell out our intent (fishing, wading, paddling) and timespan involved, it would preserve the Aloha spirit so we can confidently share the joy from this resource, eh?
