Description

Hanauma Bay is a well-known landmark of Oahu. As the round shape containing the water hints at, this is a marine embayment formed within a volcanic cone or crater. Usually, the water conditions here are very calm, so it's a great place for swimming and snorkeling. Click on the photo below to see a close-up of how clear and beautiful the water is.

This is a beautiful panorama. I have seen it from the air and the road, but never actually been down to the waters edge. It truly is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

This too is unreal...almost makes me believe in that Intelligent Design bs. I call it "bs" not because the theory is idiotic, but because so many idiots eat it up without any critical analysis whatsoever. Hell, places this beautiful need no critical analysis whatsoever. I'm simply in heaven!

This is exactly where I would like to spend two months juts doing absolutely nothing else than scuba diving or snorkling and sipping cocktails on the beach! :)
