But some are wondering if the ocean is already reclaiming a lot of that sand.
The state retrieved nearly 22,000 cubic yards of sand in shallow waters about a thousand feet offshore in order to double the width of the shoreline. But Kuhio Beach, already packed with tourists, almost looked the same as it did before the project.

“It makes the beach look smaller, frankly, when you have these higher tides. It doesn’t mean that it is. It’s just a perception,” said Sam Lemmo, administrator of the DLNR Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands, which managed the beach maintenance project.
