This northern most tip of Oahu was hard hit by the 1946 tsunami, which washed a mile inland and was 20-30 feet deep. That was before the big hotel and the golf courses. Apparently, this place is financially strapped and they feel a few more hotels and golf courses would make a difference. The locals may feel differently. Interesting place for three days of geology and engineering talks related to tsunamis, coastal erosion, and rising sea levels!
