Kuhio Beach Sandbag Groin
Waikīkī Beach Special Improvement District in partnership with the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) completed a new beach improvement project for Waikīkī Beach.
The project includes:
Construction of a 95 foot-long x 18 foot wide x 4.5 foot high sandbag groin;
the transfer of 1000 cubic yards of beach sand from the Diamond Head swim basin of Kuhio Beach.
The groin and beach sand will serve to stabilize the Diamond Head (South east) end of Kuhio Beach park fronting the Duke Kahanamoku statue.
The purpose of the project is to correct an erosion hot spot in the far eastern corner of Royal Hawaiian Beach until such time a larger master planning effort for Waikīkī Beach can be completed.
