Magic Sands Beach, a short drive south of my place, or a 35 minute walk. The sand in the photo had been washed away during a winter swell to slowly return since…”not quite there” I was told by the County caretaker. On this day the surf was calm as the winds were blowing from shore, water is crystal clear and the right temperature. I learned from my last visit in 2019 best when just arriving and not wanting to get too sunburned to come out to the beaches early morning or later in the afternoon so I was here around 9 a.m.

Spend the day after leaving the beach to a bit of food shopping at Costco to keep my food budget from getting too expensive….chicken and tuna…enough to fill the month’s protein needs πŸžπŸ“πŸŸπŸ˜‹also salad fixin’s of course!

Before dinner walk to Kailua town 45 minutes away. Walking/hiking comes in 2 flavors in Hawaii either parallel to the ocean, kind of a flat or middlin’ elevation or on a steep up and down slope of the side of presently dormant Mauna Loa.
