Haena beach access or the lack of it
#23
Kathy,

While I have met many people (including Hawaiians) that have told me about and posted about this beach,I have never heard that it was not something that was supposed to be posted about on the internet. Aside from that, the internet is now "our word of mouth", like it or not. I tend to disagree with your opinion (obviously) and it is my thought that that rumor was probably started by THE SHIPMANS!

I wonder who would be so selfish to not want to share about any beautiful or special place on this island. The beaches, even the land here belongs to all of us. I learned this from Alberta Mock Chu, who is a 5th generation taro farmer in Waipio Valley. Someone was asking her if they could come back to the farm and take pictures on another date and Alberta looked at her and said, "Of course! These are all your trees and flowers too! They don't belong to just me, they belong to all of us!" I like that a lot better than the uppity elitist feeling that we are not allowed to share things with others unless privately because then more people will come. How can we be so stingy with something that is here for all of us to enjoy?

Believe me, unless they bulldoze the path/road and allow people to drive back there it is NEVER going to get crowded! The hike is not for the faint of heart or those that mind getting dirty or need a chair to sit on at the end of the hike in. No bathrooms,no picnic table, not even a trash can there. There were only 2 other people there on the last saturday that we visited and the weather was beautiful.


Aloha au i Hawai`i,
devany
