Feb.22 (Monday) looking for Kua Bay

Feb.22


Not too many adventures on this day. It was quite a full day car trip yesterday to Waimea around the Kohala Mountain range back to Waimea the Brewhaus and then back home.
The afternoon gave us a chance to look for a different swimming beach around Kua Bay. It was advertised in the West Hawaii newspaper as one of the best TripAdviser beaches in the world. Not that it was marked very well on the main highway. We checked one very interesting and beautiful beach which was guarded by a gated community. They have to allow access, of course, and when you finally get down to the beach you may see it is very worth while.
It is the most wavy day since we have been here. Swimming for others, not us, is only in secluded coves. The surf is blasting away at the Sheraton Hotel as we return back to our condo. We have stopped at the Scenic View lookout just above Keauhou Bay. The white water surf is even around the back side of the Sheraton.
Nevertheless another good part was stopping at Honaunau Beach...I think that is the name. That is where the turtles come out onto the shore at high tide. Today's high tide at 4pm turns out to be an extra high one. And there are Hawaiian sea turtles galore.
So many pictures of surf and turtles today.
