Waialea bay a.k.a. beach 69 was the next stop. This beach had good snorkeling and, for small kids, boogy boarding. We called it baby beach because there were so many moms with small babies in the water.

Most of the shoreline on the Big Island is lava rocks or cliffs. There are very few beaches but those are very nice and well used. No miles of deserted beaches here like the Oregon coast.

Our last stop of the day was the biggest and most popular. Hapuna beach is what you think of when you imagine a Hawaiian white sand beach.

Sunset at Hapuna Beach. The colors were enhanced by smoke from a wildfire combined with the usual vog.
