This weekend we had our first taste of the beach and had an authentic Hawaiian camping experience! I went with two other interns to the nearest beach (30 mins away) for a night of camping and cooking out yesterday and today. We went with three locals who work at the resort- they said knew all the best camping spots on this side of the island. We pitched 3 tents for everyone to sleep in and constructed a fire for our cooking. We spent most of yesterday walking the lava beach and exploring the lava rocks and small hills.
A lava rock beach!
The beach is home to many sea turtles and monk seals. We didn't see any seals but we saw quite a few sea turtles!
look closely and you can see the sea turtle!
The locals brought great bbq chicken, pork, and sausage that was grilled over the fire. This morning a few rock fish were caught from the ocean but we didn't stick around long enough to see them hit the flames. All in all we had a great time and are excited to see more of this diverse island.
