Chinaman's Hat


When I was a kid, we always called that little island Chinaman's hat because it looked like one of those stereotypical hats you see men wearing in the rice fields. It has since been "re-named" back to some more PC, Hawaiian name. It probably had that Hawaiian name all along but it was probably harder for most people to pronounce and remember so the hat thing stuck.
It's a pretty beach if a bit rocky if you go wading. There are also lots of plovers, cattle egrets and these really cool yellow butterflies on the nearby lawn if you enjoy looking at birds and wildlife.
