Kauai has beautiful beaches, but they are unfortunately not the easiest to get to. That and the fact that it rains a lot meant that we only had one "official" beach day. We found this great beach in Hannalei that you could swim and snorkel at.


The sand looks beautiful but don't let it fool you. It's the hottest freakin' sand I've ever walked on. And I consider myself to have a high tolerance for pain. Don't believe me? I have a blister on my foot to prove it. It was THAT hot.

So according to those that went snorkeling, there were quite a few pretty fish and also sea turtles! Tim and Adam even said they were able to rub the turtles shells and swim with them. I was too occupied keeping an eye on Devan, but next time I will go out for sure.

BTW, the water temp was perfect. It wasn't freezing cold like CA and not super warm like Miami. It was just right for a refreshing dip. Also, I used little to no photoshop on these photos. The beauty of natural light!
