Talk:Jaws (beach)

Proposed merge

Pe'ahi (Hawaiian for "wave"), aka Jaws (formerly known as "Domes") is not a beach; it's a wave break. Hawaiians refer to it as "Pe'ahi". Jaws (beach) should be merged into Peahi, Hawaii as the former is a duplicate of the latter, as well as a double misnomer. It may be acceptable to use the article name Peahi (Jaws), although some may disagree. Peahi, Hawaii appears to be part of Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii. —Viriditas | Talk 12:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Description of Location

As far as I know, Pe'ahi is located at the bottom of many pineapple fields, not sugar cane. Although pineapple production on Maui is likely to decrease significantly due the recent shutdown of Maui Land and Pineapple, I doubt Sugar Cane will replace the agricultural use of the property on the seacliffs above the break [April 26, 2010 208.65.121.44]

The coordinates I think are off too; I think the surf break is really a bit west of Peʻahi, just uses the name as a pun. I will work on beefing up the Peahi, Hawaii article a bit. And should of course mention the owner of the land and link appropriately. W Nowicki (talk) 18:45, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jaws (beach) is a candidate to be merged into Peahi, Hawaii. There is no need for two separate articles, both of which pertain to the same topic. —Viriditas | Talk 11:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
