Waikiki Beach Improvement
A plan to stabilize and enhance sand beaches in Waikiki will be presented tonight, Jan. 12, at 7 PM at the Waikiki Neighborhood Board. The plan will increase beach stability through improvement and maintenance of shoreline structures, provide safe access to and along the shoreline, and increase resilience to coastal hazards and sea level rise.
