What's the name of this "curving bay" on Oahu? |
It is both a nature preserve and a marine life conservation district. The law forbids visitors from mistreating marine animals and touching or walking on the coral heads lying like huge rocks on the ocean floor.
Several TV shows and movies, including Magnum, P.I., Hawaii Five-O, and Blue Hawaii, have filmed scenes here, and, at one time, the bay was inundated with more than three million visitors a year. This overuse damaged the fragile marine ecosystem, leading state and local officials to take measures to limit access to the area. Today, about a million visitors still descend on the bay annually.
