Honolulu's Sandy Beach Park won't be renamed for Obama

Hawaii officials drop plan to name park for Obama

Oct. 7, 2014 2:36 PM EDT
Two Honolulu city councilmen have dropped plans to rename a popular beach for President Barack Obama.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports Councilman Stanley Chang and Council Chairman Ernie Martin decided to withdraw the proposal after hearing from the public.

The councilmen last week introduced a resolution to change the name of Sandy Beach Park to President Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park.

The beach is a popular for bodysurfing on Oahu's east side. It was a favorite for the president as he grew up. He bodysurfed there while on vacation during his 2008 campaign.

Martin says in a statement that he heard historic and cultural sensitivity concerns from the community about the name change.

He says there may be other public facilities more appropriate to honor the president.

Good. Public places should only be named after famous people once they're retired, or preferably even dead.

For example, I don't want to see any Rudolph Giuliani Bridge until he's way older. Maybe a David Dinkins Plaza, since he's been gone from the limelight for a while.

Robert Moses State Park is a public beach adjacent to the lighthouse. It's accessed by the Robert Moses Causeway over Great South Bay. East of that beach is the Fire Island National Sea Shore and then the local Fire Island Beaches east of that. Kismet, Cherry Grove, and a few others.

Ah, that's funny. There are no public beaches there except for the people who have a beach in their back yard (houses on harbor road, I believe...it's been a long time since i've lived in that area.)

Sounds like your family are the ones shutting everyone else out. Hah.

That it does. As what"his beach" is, it's not on Fire Island. The town of Islip has a town park beach . THAT is "his beach". Robert Moses is a state park, that's OUR beach equally as well. Sailor's Haven is a much nicer Fire Island beach but you can only get there by ferry. Attracts less white trash.

Heh. Yeah, never did that. Did Jones once, did a couple of others, Orchard beach in the Bronx and Sherwood up in Connecticut I liked a whole lot more. Then again, as you know, I'm a fresh water type myself. Only sharks there usually drive a Mercedes. :)

You can keep the fresh water. Utterly boring. I fish both lakes and saltwater, and lake fishing sucks comparatively.
And Jones Beach is hardly representative of the many beautiful beaches on Long Island.

I don't care what your "family" does. I care that it's not "your" beach as you don't own waterfront property and have no individual claim on state and national parkland. Stick to your suburb, dud.
