One-ula Beach Park in Ewa Beach, Hawaii

Yesterday, we had to go out to the hospital at the beginning of Ewa Beach. After that we took a cruise to an old beach I haven't been to for years.

One'ula Beach Park is on the West Side of Oahu in Honolulu County and has been a little run down lately and I read a story about how the "Limu" (native seaweed) is a rarity nowadays here at Oneula.

The 'Limu' has long since been a cultural resource for Native Hawaiians and a source of food and medicine and up until about a decade ago the 'limu', fish and sand crabs were in abundance.

Seems that when the storms produce heavy rains the runoff of water is collecting too many polluntants along the way before reaching the Ewa Beach coastal waters. In any event...you can read more on what they're trying to do about it ......here.

The ocean is still a beautiful wonder and if you look closely a great surfing spot as well. It really would be nice if they landscaped the area and cleaned up the park more. It really is still a beautiful spot.

Funny how things change in just a few years.....even when living on a small island in the Pacific.

But hey....it was such a beautiful day!
