That is my family’s beach house, with “Ho’okena Aloha” written in the rocks. It is Private Property. It’s NOT affiliated with the “Friends of Ho’okena Beach Park” or the County of Hawai’i. We would appreciate it if you would take that picture down, as tourist flock to our house, and also our other family properties when we are not there, disregarding our “No Trespassing” and “Private Property” signs. Also, you should note that the concession is CLOSED at this time, and parking is located ONLY within the beach park area on a first come first serve basis. NOT alongside the roadway, NOT blocking the one lane road from the top of the hill all the way down to the beach, NOT blocking residential and ranch gates and access, and NOT hitting the exposed water lines that provide water to not only the beach park, but the residents as well. This is our home. Show aloha. Respect the locals. Respect the ocean and the land.
My apologies for using the photo of your home in the blog – I have taken down the photo and also added your notes about the parking. Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention. Mahalo.
