Sunrise and the North Shore

Yesterday was another beautiful day in Kauai! We started off the day by getting up at 5 am and driving to a beach on the east coast to watch the sunrise. It was so beautiful and peaceful - the perfect way to start the day!







Afterwards we continued up the coast and visited Tunnels beach to lay out and do some snorkeling. Once we'd seen enough fish for the day, we visited the Queen's Bath, a large pool the size of several swimming pools carved by nature into a lava shelf. It has an inlet from the ocean that allows fresh seawater to flow in and out. From the parking lot, it was about a 15 minute hike down a muddy trail and over a field of lava rocks, but it was well worth it. We didn't get any digital pictures, but several with our waterproof camera. While there, we were treated by the sight of several sea turtles swimming just outside the pool. They entertained us for several minutes.

We ended the evening with a sunset dinner at the Beach House, a well known Kauai restaurant that is next door to our condo. It was a perfect day!
