We call our favorite beach in Kona, Kukio. It actually has a different, hard to pronounce name. We call it Kukio because it is right next to the actual Kukio beach and to get here you have to take Kukio Nui Drive. It is a small-ish beach, protected by a border of rocks....so the water is very calm and still, like a pool. Jillian will actually get in the water and play and swim here. When we go to beaches with a rough break, the waves are too intimidating for Jillian. The beach has lots of pretty trees that provide great shady areas. There is also a bathroom with showers...which is fantastic to rinse off all that sand before heading home. Oh, and the best part...it takes us 10 minutes to get here. :) If you come to visit us, we'll be bringing you to Kukio. Promise! :)In the picture above, Jillian is using her watering can to water the rocks.
We got lucky on this day and had the beach to ourselves for over an hour. Lots of little crabs live under these rocks, see below.
Our favorite treat to bring to the beach is popcorn. Yummy! It was still pretty early in the morning, so I also had coffee...not a terribly great combo.
This little crab just walked over and started crawling on Jeremy. It must have thought he was a big rock.
This is the biggest crab we could catch on this day. They are super quick! Aren't they funny? They don't bite and their little pinchers are too small to do anything but aid in crawling and climbing.
