Beaches

I'm serving the Lord, I promise!

Children's Beach. There's a rock wall that lets in water but kills the waves, and on the side the rock wall closest to shore, there's like a pool maybe bigger than a football, and it's all about five feet deep, and so it's the perfect place for snorkeling. We also saw a turtle there. There's no sandy beach here though.

Mile 88. A very white sandy beach with very clear water. Small waves, but it's a big beach. It also has a rock you can swim out to and jump off of. It's popular but not super crowded.

Hapuna Beach. We went here the first weekend. It was the biggest beach, and it had pretty good-sized waves. There's a good area for playing football and soccer. There's a park canopy for having lunch in.

Magic Sands Beach. Short stretch of sand with huge waves. Crowded and fun. Very close to base.

The beach by the pier. Closest beach to the base. You just have to walk down the boardwalk to get there. It's the smallest beach, but it's perfect if you just want a quick getaway.

Other tourist attractions include the farmer's market, the weekend flea market, the froyo place close to the base.

Great tourist activities are snorkeling, boogie boarding, cliff jumping, going to the movies, and napping.
