Saturday-Walk to Maha'ulepu Beach






We walked 4 miles down the coast to Mahaulepu Beach. First we walked up the lithified cliffs of Makawehi Point. The lithified cliffs are like cemented sand dunes -- the sand is basically petrified. The Hyatt built a gorgeous golf course on top of the cliffs where Tiger Woods has won the Grand Slam a bunch of times. Once beyond the golf course, you come to Gillin's Beach and Kawailoa Bay. This is the beach where King Kamehameha's invasion attempt from O'ahu in 1796 was thwarted. After walking 4 miles down the coast, we decided to walk the road back -- through the old sugar cane fields.
We couldn't wait to get into the pool when we got back--it never felt so good!
