A substantial beach adorned the Kahana coastline as early as three decades ago. It is a cause of growing concern that Kahana Bay Beach is nearly all gone, and coastal properties in Kahana are in great danger of being obliterated by rising sea levels.
At present, restoration work is still being discussed but still needs a target date to start. It is estimated that about 1,200 feet of the Kahana coastline are endangered by flooding due to rising sea levels.
