Kualakaʻi Beach Fisherman
KualakaʻI Beach in Kalaeloa, Oʻahu. Also known as White
Plains Beach. A popular Ewa Beach surf spot known to have a wave like Canoes
surf break in Waikiki. Kalaeloa literally means “long point” in Hawaiian, most
likely receiving this name for its appearance from the Diamond Head end of
Mamala Bay, from which it appears to be an extremely long point. Kalaeloa is the original name for Barber's Point, Oʻahu,
where Captain Henry Barber went aground in 1796. In 2000, following the closure
of BPNAS, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names approved the Redevelopment
Commission's application to change the name of the area back to the traditional
Hawaiian name Kalaeloa.
