Ala Moana Beach Park

Last Saturday was such a pretty day.  On my way home from hula, I drove through

Ala Moana  Beach Park.  I just snapped a few pics of the beach scene.

Right across from the beach is a huge park.  It was full of all kinds

of parties.  I know that people had been there for hours before sunup

saving some of the prime spots under the shade trees.

The reef at Ala Moana is really far out and there's sort of a breakwater

thing.  There are tons of people that go there to swim laps and then there are

the SUPers.  They actually had to come up with separate lanes for the swimmers

and paddlers, so they wouldn't run into each other.

Ala Moana Beach Park is at the Ewa end of Waikiki, directly across from Ala Moana

Shopping Center and next to Magic Island.

It's nice and clean....but it gets really, really hot on the sand.  And the water is warmer

it seems, guess thats because it's not such open ocean.
