We went to a Mormon beach today. Thankfully it was deserted, but still, a MORMON beach? Guess what. It's closed on Sundays. But it's got an interesting history. It's where the Hukilaus used to take place (before the government started taxing them and they stopped.) A hukilau is a big, communal fish-haul. Everybody hangs out and catches fish on the shore with nets.
Across from the beach is Goat Island. It's a short wade, but I wasn't about to attempt it alone but for my toddler during winter (which is rough sea season). Maybe in the summer when I've got company.
I kept looking out at the beach thinking "ooh, Lost is on tonight."

Hukilau beach a.k.a. Laie beach is not a "Mormon" beach. All the beaches(at least on Oahu) are public access. The members of the community which happen to be lds maintain the access parking lot. You can park at the Foodland and walk there if you wish to go on Sundays.
