We call this place third dips at Yokes, when a good north west swell comes around Kaena Pt. it has a fierce shore break with fast tubes! At the end of this road is the trail to Kaena Pt., this is where the old train use to go around the point to the north shore.

The last white sand beach before the rugged Kaena Point on Oahu west side is Keawaula, or more commonly known as Yokohama Bay. The name — keawaula means “red harbor” in Hawaiian — stems from the large schools of squid, or muhee, that once gathered here in the shallow waters, turning the water red. (Its common name — Yokohama — came from a Japanese fisherman who frequented the beach in the early 1900s.)

Beautiful sunset at Keawaula (Yokes) right at the trailhead to Kaena Pt.

HERE ARE THE MORNING PRAYERS – TAP HERE FOR STRESS AWARENESS

The reef at Keaau right past Makaha, and before Ohikilolo, Makua next, then Keawaula. Keaau is a favorite place to gather Hawaiian salt from the ancient salt pans and poles in the uplifted coral reef.
This kalo is doing well in the planters, and comes from the huli from St. Stephen’s. It s under a big kukui tree at my place in Makaha. It has done well, and I am growing for the lau or leaves to cook for laulau or stew with coconut milk. The COFO Roanridge project is propagating huli to be given to families to grow. Please let us know if you want some huli to grow!
Easy to grow! Ono to eat!
Food from heaven – Mahalo Ke Akua!
