When I first visited the "mainland" 10 yrs. ago I was surprised that public fishing access was so restricted due to private property. In Hawaii there is a different attitude:
The public has a right of access to and along all beaches and shorelines in the State situated below the "upper reaches of the wash of the waves." HRS Secs. 115-4 & 115-5
The right of access to Hawaii's shorelines includes the right of
transit along the shorelines. [L 1974, c 244, §4; am L 1991, c 37, §2]
