Ha! I can't come close to affording this! I just wondered if it was possible to visit. Sad that some homeless are being such piggies. Sigh.
Probably will stick to little Pohoiki and the Mermaids. Any other little ponds/tidepools. I may not know about?

Sure looks like it is the same "Gilligan's Island"

This piece of paradise AKpilot was asking or fantasying about is not the homeless Gilligan's island. Weekend fishing and camping by locals is what I see most of the time at this referenced property. Got plenty mainland hippie types camping more full time down at Gilligan's, like a small community. Both places could use a bit more county attention to help with the trash problems at times,jmo.

We had a homeless encampment in HPP some years ago. First a van, then within a few months it grew to a dozen or so tents and cars. The residents could drive in and out for supplies, but rather than stop at the transfer station when they went into town for groceries, we often saw them toss plastic bags of garbage over the cliffs into the ocean.
Now, most of us can see it would require almost no additional effort to stop at the transfer station if you're driving right past it, but perhaps something in their decision making process becomes broken along the way, leaving them unemployable and out on the fringes of society.
No phone, no lights, no motor car,
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be.

Lava Lava, X1!! All too many holler "respect the Aina", and their house looks like Sanford and Son with broken washers, black bags of trash, and cars on blocks, "But it's a classic"!
Only if it runs is it a classic, otherwise it's junk in the yard...

What are the chances? A black plastic bag floating nearby to grab on to!

Many years ago, when the property was owned by Keith O'Shaunessy (now deceased)I had occasion to swim in the pond. It is fairly shallow - I'm 5'1" and I could touch bottom - but due to lots of leaf fall the bottom is pretty mucky. I don't know what it's like under all the fallen vegetation, but it certainly has potential.
