The "trail" to the beach over a Pahoehoe lava flow. There are two types of flows, thick solid pahoehoe and crumbly a'a. Niether one is much fun to walk over, but it is fun to look at.
You have to work to get to the beach here...but its totally worth it once you get there! I guess I should say that you have to work to get to the nice, more secluded beaches. Silly people don't like to walk over black lava rock in the blazing sun. Allison and I willingly do and have been rewarded the last two days by beautiful beaches. Makalawena rewarded us with silky white sand and fun bodyboarding (Allison is buried in the wave in the picture on the right). Kiholo Bay rewarded us with tons of sea turtles basking and swimming in the sun...such gentle wise creatures...kind of like an Allison. Not only did we walk a long way to get to this beach, but then we swam across the lagoon to the only sandy beach (the rest was lava rock) that stuck out on a spit. I thought we were pretty hard core.
