OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This dry
cave is one of several sea caves located in
the area. The cave, which is about 300 yards
deep, used to be much larger but the 1957
tsunami partially filled it with sand.
Legend states that Manini-holo, chief
fisherman of the Menehune (little people)
dug this cave in search of the supernatural
beast, akua, who had been stealing their
fish. In actuality, the ocean used to be
much higher and these caves were formed from
thousands of years of ocean waves beating
against the lava and etching away the rock.
