Description
It was here that many human sacrifice was made to the shark god at Pelekane Bay. The first was Keoua who was killed on this beach as he and his companions disembarked from their boat. His death would assured King Kamehameha the Great to supremacy over all the islands. Keoua was a chief and cousin to King Kamehameha. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Beautiful capture and well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roby ;O)
I am happy to live in this day and age when all that sacrificing is over. I'm glad to see places like this as it is today...a peaceful place to visit! Nice shootin' Sharky!~ Aloha~
Wow thats something.
Wonderful capture friend. I agree with Punaguy, glad we live now and not then. I don't believe I ever went here. Thanks for the info too. Aloha
Hehe. In our modern age we only offer human sacrifice to the gods of collateral damage and unintended consequences. This is a beautiful place and your capture is as excellent as your weather.
This cove has such a friendly feeling, bright and sunny, a place you would bring the family to side and watch the water. And, yet, it has a turbulent past. Great shot and incredible story.
EXCELLENT CAPTURE & BEAUTIFUL COLORS :)
you are fortunate to live so close to such beautiful beaches and we are lucky because you share!!
Excellent shot. Are the long lines of rocks natural or are they stacked a certain way to prevent beach erosion? Just curious. Bill
More wonderful stories of your land--maybe not the usual tale of beauty, but still a part of history.
Awesome story to go with this great photo.. What a beautiful place mate.. I'll have to get back there one day and maybe get you to show me around some.. :) Great capture mate!
BEAUTIFUL PHOTO I MISS HAWAII **************************************
Excellent shot! (Gruesome story...)
loved reading of the history of this beautiful and tropical place!!!! gorgeous compo!!!!!
Beautiful place and interesting history.
Bill....That wall of rocks were man made and part of shoreline alterations and harbor construction. The harbor construction actually destroyed the beach as well as a substantial portion of the largest expanse of coral reef there. Marine life had declined since 1976. Thanks for asking...
would love to sit there and just enjoy the beauty around and all the birds sound etc etc....beautiful Errol
