| The division between Big Beach and Little Beach was caused by a lava flow and earthquake in 1790. The hill dividing the beaches is called Pu'u Ola'i or Earthquake Hill. Many beaches in Hawaii have the same or similar "common" names. Another beach on Maui's west shore is also named Oneloa Beach which means "long sands" in Hawaiian. |
