This area, now actually called "Unnamed Beach" was once part of Ko Olina Beach Park, but was cut off from it when the nearby marina was built. Here is a description of it from one of my books:
"It often has unusual-looking waves (thanks to a sandstone bench that waves smack into and prevailing offshore breezes that push the tops of the waves backward)" - Oahu Revealed
I recently sat on the sand here and watched the sunset, and that description exactly matched what I saw - I especially liked the way the wave tops were pushed back, creating a spray that glowed in the late afternoon light.

I'm so excited to find your blog! Your photography is beautiful! Is this beach near the black pearl? I've only gone out on the rocks on the other side by the beach park. I love the sunsets from out there. -Andrea
