Back to Punalu’u

We went back to see the turtles. Unfortunately it was not our night- one was there when we arrived and we saw at least one more swimming, but none came ashore while we were there. 

We liked this sign. It’s not a message to middle schoolers- it was created by them.




We still enjoyed the view! On that outcropping of land there is a Heiau. Another ancient Hawaiian temple.

The sand is black and fine but not particularly soft. Ground up lava feels more like glass than sand.

After several hours of turtle watching (or not, as the case was for us) they got bored and played in the sand.
