Yesterday morning, I woke up early and walked to the left along the shore. I went back today to watch the sun rise again off of the pier. That is an invigorating way to start the day.

| Sunrise at Wai'Alae |
Yesterday afternoon, I walked off to the right from the canal that leads into Wai’Alae Beach Park. There I found my favorite kind of beach: an empty, rustic beach with an amazing view of Diamondhead as a backdrop to the sea. In addition, there are plenty of trees and greenery lining the shore. This beach is primarily residential, meaning that some lucky people live in the houses overlooking the beach. This view is much preferable to that of huge hotels, which you will find in Waikiki.

| Just me and the beach! |
I walked along this scenic shore for about twenty minutes, where the shore comes to an end. You might be able to continue if you were to walk into the water. The sand, however, ends at the foot of Diamond Head. There were a few other beach walkers along the way, but the beach was pretty much deserted.
In the daytime, there is no shade along this part of the beach. However, as the sun sets, the shrubs along the shore provide a bit of shade. I think it is pretty amazing to find an isolated beach in Honolulu!
You also can snorkel at Wai’Alae Beach Park, although it is not as amazing as other places. It does have a reef with quite a few fish, especially if you swim out towards the small island just off the shore.
Overall, we are incredibly lucky to be staying near such a picturesque beach park, and I likely will take a sunrise walk there most mornings.
