There's a Proposal in the Works to Rename Beach After U.S. President Who Has Bodysurfed There

HONOLULU (TheBlaze/AP) — Two Honolulu city councilmen are proposing to name a popular beach park after President Barack Obama.

Councilmen Stanley Chang and Ernest Martin introduced a resolution on Thursday to change the name of Sandy Beach Park, Hawaii News Now reported.

If the name is changed, it would be the first time something has been named after Obama in the state of Hawaii.

The beach is a popular bodysurfing spot on Oahu's east side. Obama bodysurfed there while on vacation during his 2008 campaign for president, and it was one of his favorite spots growing up.
