Honuapo was once a busy sugar cane center and the pier that today has fallen apart was once an important shipping facility. The sugar cane boom in Honuapo lasted from the 1870s to the late 1930s. In 1946 a tsunami wiped out the pier and in 1948 the land was turned into a park. The Hawksbill Sea Turtle can also be seen here at times.
