Boat on Kam 1

Question

I see the Hula Girl was finally removed from Honolua Bay. Has the boat at Kam 1 been removed? I know there was a lot of effort but in while we were there the beginning of February.

Answer

Good question. Yes — the boat (“Dolphin”) that was beached at Kamaole Beach Park I (“Kam 1”) has been removed.

Here’s a breakdown of the situation:

That sailboat, named *Dolphin*, was pushed ashore during a winter storm and had been stuck on Kam 1 for months.
According to a Maui News report, the *Dolphin* was finally removed in May 2022.
The removal was significant: locals had even nicknamed Kam 1 “Shipwreck Beach” because of that boat.

So, you should not see that large boat there anymore if you visit Kam 1 now.

Hope that clears things up!
