HAWAIIAN OUTPOST BLOG

Well, I did it again. I ventured far away from the crowded beaches of Waikiki and headed out to the West Shore to the end of the road, literally! This time I headed out past Waianae out to Yokohama Bay. It is so remote that even my cell phone had zero bars. Awesome.

I visited this beach a few years ago and the thing I remember most was the gentle rolling waves made it very easy to float and stare at the sky. As the waves rolled past, I slowly rose and fell, almost like being rocked to sleep as a baby, I suppose. So I decided to go back and visit one of my favorite beaches.

As usual, I went on a weekday when I knew there would be few people. I have never been to that beach on a weekend so I have no idea how crowded it gets. Even if it is 10 times more crowded on weekends, that would still mean that the beach is pretty empty. When I took these pictures, there were only 5 other people on the beach, including a lifeguard and his lady friend.

A view to my right - see those 2 people walking in the distance?

I got to play in the sand, float in the water, soak in the sights and sounds of nature,...old Hawaii...way before people got here.  Not a bad way to spend a few hours!
