OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In 1778 Captain James Hook first set foot on
Hawaii at Lucy Wright Beach Park, although
it wasn’t named that then. However, despite
the fact that his arrival was a big deal the
locals chose to name the beach after Lucy
Wright. She died in 1931 and was very active
in the Waimea community.
This is a famous beach in a way, yet it’s
not as pretty as some of the others. That is
because the Waimea River flows into the
beach near here and the water is not as
clear and pretty as in other places.
Watching the water from the river and the
ocean mix together is an interesting way to
spend a few hours. If you like camping out
then you can get a county permit and camp at
this beach . |
