This morning, we headed to the closest beach. It is rather small and quiet in comparison with some of the more famous beaches on the island. but still a lovely place to hang out.
The beach looks completely different when viewed from the north and south ends.

| Looking north |
On the north end, I walked around many lava tide pools. And I encountered three species of sea urchins and a few sandpipers on the rocks.

| In April, this ruddy turnstone will migrate to the Arctic to breed. |
At the south end of the beach, free divers were heading out to spearfish. They knew the safest place to get in the water and spent over an hour fishing.
 |
| Freediving requires skill, very long fins, and a spear gun to fish |
There are several nice trees high on the beach, providing shade as well as sites to hang a hammock.

| This guy slept the whole time we were on the beach. Perhaps he had a rough Valentine's Day. |
