New Sand Widening Project for Waikiki Beach Completed

The Land and Natural Resources Department announced that the Waikiki sand widening project is now complete.  The project cost approximately $2.5 million and was funded by a joint effort between the city and several of the hotels located on Waikiki Beach.  The beach is now approximately 37 feet wider and should provide more space for tourists and residents alike to enjoy.  While the new sand is greyish in color, University of Hawaii scientists assure the public that it will soon become sun bleached and turn white.
