Lazy Saturday

Halona Cove Beach

I had planned on "hiking" out to the Makapu`u tidepools on Saturday and swimming in the cool waters on the outskirts of Makapu`u point...but everyone bailed on me and Sommer. I then wanted to check out Hamama Falls in Kahalu`u. But Sommer's foot was acting up and we couldn't do that, either... So, we decided to have a lazy Saturday and go for a drive and take in some of the sights around our beautiful island.

We first went to Spitting Cave in Portlock. The waves were pretty big due to a nice south swell. No one was jumping, the landing zone and coast was too big today.

Sommer was enjoying the view.

The cave was spitting some mean sea spray.

We then headed over to Halona (the Blowhole) and the Halona Cove scenic point (big picture at the top).

Of course this beach is famous as the location for the make out scene in the 1953 movie From Here To Eternity (watch the scene here).

We then headed over to Sandy Beach, and spent the rest of the morning watching the body boarders attack the head high shore break.
