After yesterday's failed beach attempt, we were determined to have a beach day. We went to the South side of the island. We found a beach with a calm protected swimming area that was perfect for Miles. There was snorkeling nearby for the boys. There was even a Hawaiian Monk Seal sleeping on the beach. The only problem was that Miles wasn't enamored with the beach. It didn't take long for him to decide he was done. We also discovered that we left our lunch back in Kapa'a. We decided to go back and get our lunch, then find another beach closer to where we are staying.
Before heading back, we stopped at Spouting Horn. It's always amazing to watch the water shoot out from the hole on the shore as it washes under the sea shelf. There were sea turtles playing in the rough surf as well.
So we drove back and ate lunch then went to another beach that is just minutes away. It too had protected swimming areas and this time, Miles thought it was great. "Miles is happy. Ocean so fun." We couldn't get him out of the water. The swimming area actually has a population of fish- extremely tame fish that are happy to eat right out of your hand. Some locals came to feed the fish and we were surrounded by swarms of fish jumping and splashing to get some free food. I'll admit it... fish creep me out, but this was cool.
Dinner was at our favorite cafe from the last trip. Unfortunately, while the menu was the same, the food wasn't. We got back, and Miles almost immediately passed our from such a busy and fun day.
