Life’s a beach

The beach at Anaehoomalu Bay on the Big Island, Hawaii
The beach at Anaeho’omalu Bay is very popular. This was taken in the late afternoon when the crowds had thinned out.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer.’ See more responses here. Beach scenes seemed appropriate for this, even if some of these photos were taken in the winter! Captions on the photos.

The beach at Kaloko Honokohau on the Big Island, Hawaii
Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park is also popular, but not many walk the length of it, so there are often empty stretches of sand.
The beach at Hapuna on the Big Island, Hawaii
No wonder Hapuna beach often appears on lists of best beaches.
The beach at Kohanaiki on the Big Island, Hawaii
Kohanaiki is popular with surfers, but the beach is good too, even if it is close to the airport.
The beach at Kawaihae harbor on the Big Island, Hawaii
The beach in Kawaihae Harbor is popular with locals, especially on weekends. It’s a great spot for families with the water protected by a long breakwater.
Spencer Beach Park on the Big Island, Hawaii
Another beach that’s popular with families is at Spencer Beach Park. Smooth sand, calm water, shade trees, and good facilities are the reasons why.

      I kind of miss the changing seasons, but I never get tired of wearing shorts and a light shirt every day. Just remember spring is around the corner!

    Your Big Island beach scenes are gorgeous, Graham! That last one of Spencer Beach looks idyllic! We really enjoyed Onekahakaha Beach in Hilo when we were there two different times. Just a short walk from our B&B–black sands and everything.

      Thanks, Terri. Ironically, I hardly ever laze about on a beach. I’m usually hiking on them. I don’t think I’ve been to that beach in Hilo. I keep intending to go over there on a photography day trip, but haven’t had the time yet.
