Yesterdays “where is it?” challenge got a lot of interest, and many guesses. Thanks to everyone who gave it a try.

No, I didn’t know where the photo was taken. I found it in a small photo album with pictures from my mother’s childhood, so I know it was in Hawaii.

But Chuck, along with Jim Bickerton, appear to have had the right answer–Makaha Beach.

Chuck initially thought it might be from Maili Beach Park, but the reef and the mountain close to the ocean led him to also conclude it was Makaha.

Jim says he has seen that view many times while surfing at Makaha, with Mauna Lahilahi to the right, and Maili Point in the background.

Here are two images found online that appear to confirm the location. These are both at Makaha Beach Park. I hope this small noncommercial use will not raise copyright issues.
