We happened to stop at one of the beach areas here while just driving around and "WOW!"...a really beautiful place. MUCH less crowded than the one at Waikiki and offers a different a experience altogether. Tranquility, peacefulness and just calm beauty. It was our last day here for this visit and we were just taking a drive around the island...I wish I would found this while side of the island earlier and spent more time here. I guess this gives us something to come back to do. It's just laid back, and it seems to have fewer tourists (of which I'm one). A great place to go for a "get away from the touristy spots" part of your vacation. If you live here, I'm sure you already know about it...you're so fortunate!
