This is my entry in the #thediarygame for August 25th, the last day of the season, after which steemcurator01 will take a one week break.

I went to the beach to enjoy it before they close the beach tomorrow night at midnight. First I stop at my favorite breakfast place Kimo’s and Boots for breakfast. I split a stack of pancakes and my omelet with my wife, but we each have toast and papaya. It’s $10.00 each for breakfast, definitely a splurge.

Pancakes with Macadamia sauce

Three egg omelet

Delicious red papaya, it’s sweeter then regular orange papaya

Then off to the beach! :)

This is actually two beaches: Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach. They both create a 3 mile long white sand beach on the Windward side (east) of Oahu along the south. It is world famous for its beauty of the sand, the water and the view of the gentle curve which stretches across the horizon. It is also famous for the Mokulua Iskands- multiple small islands off its coast, used for impromptu picnics and parties. It’s also blessed with a great breeze which makes it a great place for water activities involving sails like windsurfing and parasailing.

The spectacular white sand beach, emerald green water and free entertainment of windsurfers, parasailed s and other water sports enthusiast is a proper compliment to the peaceful serene surrounding. Eat lunch, take a long walk, enjoy the feel of the ocean on your feet, the warm sand in between your toes and the gentle breeze in your hair. It is truly a fun experience and a short drive from central Oahu via the H3 freeway or the Pali Highway from Honolulu and Waikiki.

There are many rental facilities nearby for boats and watercraft. You can also take surfing lessons, windsurfer lessons or other healthy water sports. Both traditional Sit down Canoe paddling, and stand up paddling a large wide surfboard like paddle board are also popular. Modern canoes and boards are so light that you see 75 pound people carrying 14 feet on canoes and boards made of plastic.

Kite Surfing looks like so much fun. Literally a shorter and wider board the regular surfing then you get air in the kite and it pulls you across the surface of the water. It looks really cool.

I think this is a dead Monkey Pod tree

Beach sunset at Ko’olina Beach Park.

The day finished with a sunset over the rocky end of another beach close to my home KoOlina Beach park.
