Not so secret beaches and beach bum dogs

On Monday, instead of back to work, it was back to the beaches. We started at Secret Beach. It's obviously no so secret anymore. However, it does require a bit of a hike to get to the beach and then 1/3 of a mile walk through the soft sand to get to the lava pools. Definitely worth it.






A few of the pools are deep enough to snorkel (about 12 feet deep).















There's a waterfall to wash off the sea water. How cool is that?

After leaving Secret Beach, we hit the Foodland Grocery Store to buy a picnic lunch and made our way west of Hanalei to Tunnels beach. The beach is beautiful and the snorkeling was good. 

We also made friends with a beach bum dog. His routine is to walk up to people, sit down, wag his tail and hope for snacks. Those of you that know Luella, already know how this ends - friends for life. This picture shows them napping together.
