When I first came to to this now popular and well-used beach, there was not a road to it. I came by boat and  enjoyed a private visit. Thick trees reached almost to the shore. Most of them are gone now. There were no buildings yet.  The famous fishponds were safely protected behind the roots of native Hau trees. A combination of development and the 2011 tsunami has entirely changed the area. This ancient Kiawe tree remembers.
