Un vistazo de Kuhio Beach

Kuhio Beach Park is a part of Waikiki Beach, located between the Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel and the Kapahulu Groin, which was built in 1951 as part of the Waikiki Beach Improvement Project. It is an extension of a storm drain that runs under Kapahulu Avenue. The project also included building a low wall on the Diamond Head side of the groin and importing sand to create the beaches on both sides. Today, this area right in front of the groin is a popular surf spot among bodyboarders. Also because surfboards are not allowed here, so the bodyboarders feel safe.

Kuhio Beach Park was named after Prince Johah Kuhio Kalanianaole, born in 1871. His home, Pualeilani (meaning “flower from the wreath of heaven”) used to stand here, and he lived here with his wife Princess Elizabeth Kahanu.

To the west of the beach park are two of Waikiki’s famous surf sites, Queen’s and Canoes. Three popular landmarks are located in Kuhio Beach Park: the Prince Kuhio Statue, the Duke Kahanamoku Statue and the Stones of Kapaemahu. The Prince Kuhio Statue was created by sculptor Sean Browne and was dedicated in 2002. The Duke Kahanamoku Statue was created by sculptor Jan-Michelle Sawyer and dedicated on 1990, the hundredth anniversary of Duke’s birth. He is considered the “Father of Modern Surfing,” a great Hawaiian watermen, Olympic swimmer, surfer and canoeist. The Stones of Kapaemahu represent four legendary men: Kapaemahu, Kahaloa, Kapuni and Kinohi, who came to Hawaii from a faraway land. In Hawaii they were famous for their great wisdom and healing powers.

Tip de seguridad
Para Cualquier playa en Hawaii que usted puede visitar, tenga en mente que el océano puede ser muy peligroso. Nunca se ponga en contra de las olas, cuídese de las corrientes marinas y siempre chequee las condiciones para el surf. Preste atención a las señales que encontrará en cada playa. Si no está seguro acerca de las condiciones, pregunte a los guardavidas (si los hay en la playa). Por favor haga click aquí para leer más acerca la seguridad oceánica en Hawaii.
