In fact, this beach is the most protected on Oahu’s North Shore because of the reef that diffuses high waves during the winter months when other North Shore beaches get pounded by high surf. Kawela Bay’s nearshore waters are calm and free of currents year-round.
In the past, homes stood along Kawela Bay’s entire length. But in 1986, all residents from the bay’s east point to the center were evicted to make way for a resort that was never built. Now, the property surrounding the bay remains undeveloped. If you look closely, you can still see remnants of modern civilization.
For example, at the post coordinates, you'll find a group of coconut palm trees with modern-day pest deterrent devices still attached.
To find this cache, starting at the posted coordinates,
