Gold Coast Seawall Lawsuit Affects Many Diamond Head Condo Buildings
The top of the 100-year-old masonry wall that separates the Pacific Ocean from more than a dozen residential buildings along Waikiki's Gold Coast at the Diamond Head end of Kalakaua Avenue is crumbling and badly in need of repair.
No one disputes that.
What is disputed is who should pay to repair the wall, which sits mostly on private property but is used by the public, mostly surfers, swimmers and fishermen seeking lateral access to the ocean and a popular surf break called Tonggs.
"All of us who live along there, for all these years, we just assumed it was public because of the heavy public use," said Robert Gentry, who has lived part time on the Gold Coast for 28 years. "We always assumed it, because if it wasn't we wouldn't have permitted the public to walk on it. If the public uses it, the public needs to take care of it."
