A GOOD DAY TO GO TO THE BEACH
If you could go anywhere on Maui for Memorial Day, where would you go?
HOW ABOUT THIS BEACH FOR STARTERS?
We started our Memorial Day getaway at Po'olenalena Beach Park. for some snorkeling. We saw a snowflake eel and a green sea turtle along with a nice array of reef fish. The turtle seemed unconcerned by our presence. It swam towards us to see what we were and then went back to eating algae.
Chang's Beach is the local name for Po'olenalena Beach Park. It is located in Makena and is favored by the locals. Shaun and Pamela like this beach and we decided to try it out. It was refreshing to see these boys having such a good time with a piece of old carpet.
NEXT STOP, WAILEA
After our snorkel at Chang's Beach, we drove over to Wailea Beach for some more swimming.
Here is a view of the other side of Wailea Beach.
RELAXATION IS ONLY A SHORT DRIVE AWAY
Who is the shadowy figure in the foreground? Most of the people in the background had to fly here but Bob only had to take a 40 minute drive.
FISHING
Bob wasn't the only local at Wailea Beach on this morning.
WEST MAUI FROM WAILEA BEACH
Wearing a flowing mane of white cloud, West Maui seems to be racing across the water.
OUR FAITHFUL POD
When we had enjoyed enough salt water frolicking, our little car was waiting to take us home. We left before the parking lot filled up.
