Waikiki Beach To Be Repaired By Offshore Sand Deposits
State officials have said they plan to restore a portion of Waikiki Beach by taking loads of sand from nearby shoals. The most popular beach in Hawaii - and maybe the world, will be undergoing an estimated $2.5 million makeover that would widen the 1,700-foot-long beach by about 37 feet between the Royal Hawaiian Hotel concrete groin and the Kuhio Beach crib wall.
The project - which is in the process of being permitted, would start in January or February of 2011 and would widen restore the beach back to what it was in 1985. This project will also open the door for the state to take care of Waikiki Beach and other beaches using this same process.
Another beach that could desperately use help is Kailua Beach, which has been eroded severely over the past several years by both weather and people. Kailua Beach was a consistent top ten finisher in the most beautiful beaches in the nation surveys until all the erosion started happening.
Either way, this is a welcome site - not only for tourists, but for locals who are afraid that all of the foot traffic will eventually destroy all of Waikiki Beach.
