The question is unanswered: which is the most beautiful beach of all? Mike, our dive guide, suggested another possibility that we hope to check on. It's north of here, but closer than the beaches where we went yesterday. Unfortunately, no parking -- one has to walk to get there.
After our dive today, we sat for a while at the beach next to the boat harbor in the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park. Last year we spent quite a few mornings on this beach, which offers a beautiful native-style shelter from the sun. A little offshore in the water is a royal fish trap from old Hawaiian times (visible in the photo above). Fish caught here were reserved for the king. Behind the small dune, there's an old fish pond, also from the pre-European era. Turtles bask on the sand all along the water's side. Today I was walking in the water when a large turtle surfaced next to me.
