Red Beach on Guadalcanal
On August 7, 1942, the United States Marines arrived at Red Beach
The remains of wrecked planes
The planes here were found in the surrounding area and dragged here for display. It's amazing how much is left after so many years. We saw an ad in one of the hotel windows asking people to return any human remains found in the area to the Japanese government. We were told that occasionally a farmer digging in his garden will uncover bones there.
