We extended our morning swim a little longer today, an extra .2 miles, which means that we went the full length of Hapuna, to the little beach that it just north of the resort. We’ve read that the beach is 1/2 mile long, which means our usual swim is 1 mile long (or so we tell ourselves), but today we went closer to 1.2. Can I hear you clapping?
Not too much to report, but it was fun to explore a little farther beyond our usual reach, and there was a really interesting perspective of Hapuna Beach from this angle. We see swimmers heading just north of this to explore the rocks, but haven’t made it that far just yet. One of these days…
By the way, if you are looking for a good burger around lunchtime or early evening that costs less than $10, check out the little beach grill at Hapuna because if my memory serves me right, it was one of the better and cheaper burgers we’ve had on the Big Island. Our favorite is at Huli Sue’s ($12) in the raincloud of Waimea, on the wetside of town. Get it with BBQ sauce (and bacon if you want to be decadent) and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Sometimes the fries there are hit or miss though- you will feel excited because they have that home-made fresh fry allure, but tend to be a little extra-greasy, which sometimes makes us nauseous (but doesn’t stop us from ordering them).
