Cleaning Up WWII Debris at Sand Island | Honolulu News

Sand Island State Recreation Area is getting a major cleanup starting July 9th, as crews tackle hazardous WWII-era debris exposed by erosion—broken concrete, sharp metal, and glass—posing safety risks to beachgoers. The project, running through October, will temporarily close sections of the western beach near Keehi Channel (between comfort stations 5 and 6) on weekdays, while weekends and holidays remain open. Managed by DLNR, the effort aims to preserve the island’s history while ensuring public safety and environmental health.
