Tips from the community
Sad, decaying, and closed, this once was a memorial competition-sized swimming pool and viewing stands, set seaside on San Souci Beach. Created to honor the 10,000 men and women from Hawaii who served in World War I, and the 101 who never returned, this was built in 1927, but has suffered in recent years.
