OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Ma`ili
Beach Park is in the area which got its name
from a contracted form of ma`ili`ili,
meaning "lots of little pebbles." `Ili`ili
stones found in proliferation nearby had
many uses in ancient Hawaiian society - as
fish sinkers, game pieces for a jacks-type
game called kimo, and percussive
musical instruments.
This is a
popular site for surfers. Swimmers get most
enjoyment during the Summer months when the
surf isn't so big. It's during the Summer
that the sandy beach is usually widest and
it erodes away during the Fall and Winter.
The coral reef drops off suddenly so ocean "newbies"
be forewarned. Ask the lifeguards
at the beach where the best swimming areas
are and where hazards can be avoided.
There's a boat jetty nearby so watch out for
the boat traffic.
This beach park
is in the driest areas of O`ahu. Be sure you
and any keiki (children) who might be with
you drink plenty of fluids to avoid
dehydration. Be sun safe and sensible: Be
sure to wear a broad spectrum sun block,
tanning lotion, or cream with a sun
protective factor of SPF 15+ or higher - and
reapply it every two hours. Don't forget
your sunglasses and to wear a hat with a
wide brim, too! |
