Kahalu'u Beach

Across the street from our rental house is Kahalu'u Beach - according to our guide book it is one of the nicer snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Most of us have snorkeled at this beach during our week here - including Orion. :-) The sand is very coarse, but there is sand so the kids play okay at this beach. (Not all of the beaches we've been to have sand.)


The beach is a habitat for a handful of sea turtles. The turtles have been at the beach every time we visited and don't seem bothered by people in the least. The kids really enjoyed seeing the turtles on the beach, but got really spooked when the turtles touched them while we were swimming.

Orion and Brett snorkeling. I haven't gone snorkeling with Orion, but Brett says Orion does really well. I took Isabella out with goggles (no snorkel). Isabella saw some fish and was excited by it.

Our first afternoon in Hawaii Sabrina fell asleep on my lap at the beach. She was still adjusting to the time change and catching up on lost sleep.
