SiteType: Na-wa'a-liilii-kiolea. (Small-canoes-long-and-narrow). Traditional stone canoes. They are low, flat rocks, washed by the waves. Until fifty or sixty years ago these stones were the shape of Tahitian canoes. It is said they were brought here from Tahiti centuries ago, and here on the beach they were turned to stone. Stones broken up during road building by "white man".
