Some Beaches of Oahu

This small bear loves beaches, even though Mum won't let me get wet! Here's a few of the ones close to Honolulu. The first one is about 10 minutes walk from Prince Waikiki, where we stayed. It is part of the Ala Moana Beach Park. The beach is protected from big waves by breakwaters, so it is a nice calm area for kids and scaredy-cats to swim at. The second one is just north of Hanauma Bay (see 5 posts back). The beach is inside a reef, so the waves are pretty small. It is a nice sandy beach, so its name is actually Sandy Beach (I thought only Australians used names like that). The bottom two are of islands a bit further north along the Kamehameha Highway that runs up the east side of Oahu. The closest one is Mokoli'i. Because of its shape it is also called Chinese Hat. Left of Mokoli'i is the crater on Kaneohe Head. Far left in the distance are the Mokumanu Islands. The sandy part of the beach here at Kualoa Regional Park is quite narrow and waves come right up to the grass most of the time so the best place I could find to watch the fish was on this stump of a dead coconut tree. Fortunately, I didn't fall into the water before Mum saw where I was.
