Description:An aerial photographic analysis of the beaches of Oahu, Hawaii was conducted for a period of up to 50 years. The results indicate that the most unstable beaches are on sand bodies projecting from the coastline, such as Kualoa Point, Iroquois Point, and Paiko Peninsula. The sandy shoreline on Oahu has been placed into the following management categories: (1) Hazard areas, (2) Chronic Erosion areas, (3) Unstable beaches, (4) Stable beaches, and (5) Accreting beaches. The first three categories are of the greatest concern to coastal managers.
