Spreckelsville Beach

Also known as Baby Beach, this beach is great for kids because there's a rocky reef about 50 feet out into the water. This reef breaks the waves so that the water up against the beach is nearly wave free.

Back to throwing Tree up in the air. After each throw and catch he says, "DO AGAIN!"

Baldwin Beach Park

After playing at Baby Beach and then eating some lunch, we walked along the beach to Baldwin Beach, which is quite a bit rougher because it lacks the protective reef that Baby Beach has.

After we got hit by this wave, Tree exclaimed, "Wave not knock you down!" This was just one day after we got knocked down and separated at a beach near Hana.

Ho`okipa

Ho`okipa is the windsurfing capital of the world. It's located a mile or so east of Baldwin Beach Park. Not much was going on today. We looked out onto the water to see some surfers, and we walked around Ho`okipa lookout and point, to enjoy the rock structure.
