The City Department of Parks and Recreation has a number of public beach accesses (in addition to beach parks) in this area, all accessible from public streets. We try to provide beach accesses about 1/4 to 1/2 mile apart where there is a demand by the public for beach/shoreline access. They are the following:

Park Name	Link No.	Size of Park in Acres	Address	City	State	Zip Code	Primary Tax Map Key

During the council meeting this evening one of the speakers recommended using the City and County's GIS mapping system to review your beach access points. Below is a link to the site and a bit of a tutorial:

http://gis.hicentral.com/website/parcelzoning/viewer.htm

1. There are two ways to find your spot on the map:

• First, when you get to the site, start by clicking the map near on Kailua. This will zoom you in closer. Keep doing this until you find your location. Once you are zoomed in, click the "FREE HAND" button to slide the map around.
• The second way to find your property is to click on the "SEARCH" button on and then (on the right side) type in your property number in the first field and your street in the 2nd.

2. Next, locate your nearest beach access. You'll probably need to use the FREE HAND feature to slide around the map.

3. Now that you can see the tract of land, click on the IDENTIFY button and click on the strip of land that represents the road or beach access. This will bring up additional information on the right hand side (you may need to select a property - the one without an address next to is probably the right of way).

4. The property should now be outlined in pink and you should see three links on the right to access Property, Owner, Building Permit and Zoning Info. For example, below is the information for the beach access on the north side of Kaapuni:

Property Info

Owner Info

Building Permit Info

Zoning Info

Good luck and happy hunting!
