In Paradise
The last day on vacation in Oahu was a WILD ONE! I have never experienced wind like this on previous visits. The jelly fish were claiming the beach and making it hard to walk the beach barefoot that morning (did that at Kailua Beach). You did not need to go to the spa just head to the beach for a great sand exfoliation (did that at Lanikai Beach)!
A dream day for kite surfers!
Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve was closed! You could not have snorkeled and it probably would feel like you were swimming on the spin cycle. Too dangerous with big waves, rip currents and a rocky coral bottom.
Sandy Beach
Stopped at Sandy Beach to check out the waves due to the massive shore break here. The waves did not disappoint. Plus got in some more spa sand exfoliation too. Check it out!
Best to Stay Out of the Ocean and Admire It from a Distance!

The waves are so beautifully blue and look a bit ferocious. Did you try the sailing thing?

Emily –
Yes, the waves were certainly that! No, I do not kite surf.

It’s the color of the roiling ocean which draws my eyes. Just stunning.
