PRINTED ON 100% RECYCLED PAPER. ©2015 THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND. An endangered coast Stretching five miles from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point, the land surrounding the Turtle Bay Resort embraces one of the last undeveloped wild shorelines on O‘ahu. This rugged, windswept coast—much loved by the community—is regu- larly featured in popular movies and TV shows. It is home to endangered monk seals and green sea turtles, and whales breach just offshore in the crystal-clear ocean. Island residents and tourists alike flock here to get away from O‘ahu’s urban centers, to enjoy uncrowded beaches, surfing, fishing, and coastal hiking on the state’s most developed island. But the future of this rare coastline is endangered by development rights granted decades ago that have withstood multiple legal challenges.
