Pretty neat, but why is it entitled 'Waikiki Beach'? I'm only asking because the name 'Waikiki' appears nowhere on the info link. Is this what CG personnel affectionately call it?Wed Aug 02 22:29:12 -0700 2006 From: tedder
It's a very small beach in a little-populated area- there isn't much available on the name- here is a Google search giving some decent links:

Note this beach is only about 400ft (130 meters) wide. It is usually full of driftwood, often full-size trees. |
