Laniakea Beach

Today I went to Laniakea Beach aka Turtle Beach with my friend, Alex. We took the Bus there and it took about an hour and a half. Before we even put our stuff down we had already seen the turtles popping their heads out of the water. I took lots of pictures there. Unfortunately none of the turtles came out of the water to bask in the sun but it was still cool to sea them swimming in the water. The water there was a lot colder than the water along the south shore of Oahu. Here's my pics of the Green Sea Turtles or Honu.

This is Laniakea Beach.

Here's the best picture I got of a Green Sea Turtle. They're called Green beacuse they're meat is green in color.

They have signs like this all along the beach.

There's a turtle sitting on top of the rock in the middle.

This is a picture of the green algae that the turtles eat.

This is the memorial that was set up on the beach in memory of Honey Girl, a sea turtle that was found dead on the beach this July.

After spending a couple hours on the beach waiting for the turtles to come up, which they never did. We decided to go to Haleiwa which is a little town along the North Shore. Its the first town you come upon heading from Honolulu that is considered part of the North Shore. We went to what the locals say is the best shave ice in the islands. We went to Matsumoto Shave Ice. They have tons of flavors to put on your shave ice. This time I had raspberry and coconut. Below are pics of the sign at Matsumotos and me with my large raspberry and coconut flavored shave ice with a holder. And it was only $2.25.

That's all for this blog. I'll write again soon. Alex and I would like to go to Waimea Falls Park next weekend which is also along the North Shore. Sending you warm wishes and aloha kisses. Jessica :)
