Now that some of us are in the heart of winter and some of us are not, thoughts wander to a lovely day at the beach. So here in Hawaii I share my favorite beach and ask you, “What’s YOUR favorite beach and why?
My fave is the one in the picture, Sandy Beach on O’ahu. It’s just a short curved section with lots of parking and a strong onshore trade wind most of the time. And it is known for its wicked shore break. On a small day its loads of fun to get smashed around but as the surf gets higher the thrills are heavier and the danger of serious injury grows rapidly. Mostly though it’s a great hangout with modest crowds.
And, I hear, it is Barack Obama’s best hangout. Never seen him there though. Weirdest thing I saw there was a group of beach goers having lunch with silver tea service, cups and saucers and ever so elegant scones and jam. The scones were fabulous. I baked them myself.
So, what’s your fave?
