Today started off with a visit to the Kona Temple - just about 30 minutes from our hotel. It is one of the small temples - and it was nice to visit with some of the members from here.
Afterward, we decided to find a place to try some snorkeling. Kahalu'u Beach Park is supposed to have great snorkeling, so we made our way there. There were quite a few people, so I was a little skeptical, but it turned out great. There were tons of brightly colored fish all over. There is an off shore reef that keeps the waters calm by the beach, and many different types of fish call it "home". We even saw more green sea turtles swimming around.
Later that afternoon we convinced ourselves we were up for another hike. We went out to Kekaha Kai State Park. There is unpaved road full of lava rocks and potholes (not a good combination with Noall's mustang...) that takes about 25 min. until you get to the first beach. But we didn't want to stop there! ;) We followed the coastline over a lava bed for about 30 minutes until it opened up onto a gorgeous white sand beach with crystal green water. It was beautiful! It wasn't too hot, so it felt good just to sit in the sun and soak it all in for a while.
Afterward, we headed to a Thai Resturant that had been recommended to us...SUPER yummy!
