What was the first Honolulu beach to ship in sand, to fill its crowded beaches?

State officials plan to pump about 20,000 cubic yards of sand from offshore onto Waikiki Beach next year to combat coastal erosion.

The state would need roughly $500,000 from the 2002 Legislature to proceed with the project, said Sam Lemmo, the state coastal lands manager.

Lemmo said the sand replenishment project will take place at Kuhio Beach.

State officials said they had technical problems when they conducted a sand-pumping demonstration project at Kuhio from 2,000 feet offshore last year.

Lemmo said the state had expected to pump about 5,000 cubic yards but was able to pump only about 1,300 cubic yards.

Great answer! Thanks for all the info
