Clark began gathering information for the "Beaches" series in 1972, and during the years that followed interviewed hundreds of informants, many of them native Hawaiians, and consulted dozens of Hawaiian reference books, newspapers, and maps. A significant amount of the oral history he collected was unrecorded and remained only in his notebooks and memory. Hawai'i Place Names: Shores, Beaches, and Surf Sites is the final product of those years of research, and like its popular predecessors, it benefits substantially from Clark's having spent a lifetime surfing and swimming Hawai'i's beaches.
Presented in the same convenient format as Pukui, Elbert, and Mookini's Place Names of Hawaii, this rich compendium of information on Hawai'i's surf, shore, and beach sites will satisfy visitors and residents alike.
