County of Kauai’s public works worked with the west side community to install boulders to block access for vehicles directly next to the pa’akai beds at Salt Pond.

Large boulders block the access to Salt Pond that leads beside the pa’akai beds.

HANAPEPE — There aren’t as many vehicles lined up along the beach at Salt Pond as there have been in the past, thanks to community members and the county working together to protect their natural resources.
