Waimea Bay
When hearing of Hawaii, it is common to hear of Waimea Bay. I started hearing of friends and family travelling to Oahu, and visiting this beautiful bay with giant waves. I had been travelling to Maui for five years before I visited another island, and Oahu has much different beaches then Maui. Most of Maui's beaches are small short beaches with little sand, lots of black lava rock, and a short walk on the sand before reaching the water. One of my favorite beaches on Maui, Big Beach has huge waves, but experiencing the November waves in Waimea Bay were even bigger. I always wished I was a mermaid, so diving into huge waves brings me great joy, especially when you make it under the wave just in time, before it crashes onto the sand below. The water was so deep immediatly once entering the water, and the waves came in nice sets to keep swimming exciting and fun. While relaxing on the beach, the view from famous Waimea Bay is truly Hawaiian, and the large sandy area before the water starts is great for playing many sports. The beautiful turquoise waters, contrasting against the black lava rock is quite a sight to see. Now when I look at photos of Waimea Bay I can imagine being there in the moment, along with the humid, floral scent in the air.
