Cove Beach Park — Attraction in Maui

This little park is wonderful for sunsets and fishing - at least until the locals bullied us out of the park. There are five fishing rod holders off the fence by the water. My husband and I seated with a fishing rod holder between us while he prepared his pole. A local with his teeth missing, long hair and tattoos rudely walked up directly between us and put his pole in the holder. When my husband said "I was going to use that?"
