Kukuiho‘olua Island

Kukuiho‘olua Island, located off of the Lā‘ie Point State Wayside Park, is known for the hole in the middle of the island. Trying to access the island is not advised, as the surface is jagged rocks like the shoreline in the foreground, as well as the strong tides in the area.

Sandbar Beach Day

In Ke‘ehi Lagoon, there are a few sand bars big enough to land a small boat and walk on it during low tide. As was the case with this family one morning. The rocky shoreline in the background is the "Reef Runway" of the Daniel K Inouye International Airport.
