LYDGATE PARK BEACH, KAUAI 22.25N, 159.20W
The link is to images from Lydgate Park
Beach.
"The sand from the east shore of Kauai is
probably more typical of what we would expect on Kauaian
beaches, with plentiful broken shell material mixed by the
high-energy waves. I see a few shell fragments here, but it
will be interesting to see the pictures with them magnified.
I should note that the winter-spring time in which I took .
. . these samples involves some pretty vigorous wave action
compared to other times of the year; this may have removed
smaller fractions of sand that might be present in the
calmer summer months" S. Newton, Geologist
