Boulders And Tetrapods

Boulders and concrete tetrapods line the ocean side of HNL's Runway 8R, also known as the "Reef Runway". With no real shoreline, this wall protects the runway and taxiways from high surf during south swells. Waves can be seen crashing against the tetrapods and boulders from the other side during the summer, when the waves shift to the southern coastlines.
