Other than hiking and swimming, Oahu is also a great place to just kick back and relax! While there are great beaches to relax in well-known areas such as Waikiki and Ala Moana, they tend to be crowded and finding parking can take a lot of time out of your day. Fortunately, there are quiet and secluded beaches around the island, as well as spas and resorts where you can treat yourself to a Hawaiian-style massage called the lomilomi massage. From remote beaches to luxurious spas, here's our Top 5…

of graham cracker. Oh, yeah, baby, someone loves me! My feet swung over the edge of my bed and I realized I was wearing jean shorts and a soft white cotton t-shirt. That’s when my “something’s funky” radar went off. I slid off the bed, and felt sand beneath my feet. Salt hung in the air, and somehow I knew without a doubt I was on an island. I could hear someone playing an acoustic guitar and singing. As I got closer, I realized the song was Life’s Been Good to Me. Three guys sat…

attention to, when you’re at the beach on a regular day. Usually you we just look at the sand to see if there is any rocks or and we look at the water (and its colour). But this time while looking at both of these things I realized that when you pick the small gains of sand in your hand the sand is more of a white colour (mostly but not the only colour) then tan as well as it had different shades of colour of white. The sand grains were finer than gravel but rougher than slit, when we rub whole…

first foot in the sand, you stop to hear small children running past you squealing with excitement, their faces full of joy and their parent’s closely following behind yelling over the gusty wind to slow down and wait for them. You take your first step…

Attack Of The Bird Poop Lake!!! Bang! Ahhh! Splash! I tumble down the sandy hill towards the slimy brown lake water. How this happened? Well, let’s start from the very first moment of this adventure… “Coming Esa!” I call from the garage of my house. Esa, my best friend is waiting at the bottom of my driveway. I hop up on my pink bike seat and pedal down next to her. “Ready?” Esa asks. I nod an excited yes. We pedal out towards the entrance to our neighborhood. **As bright, large,…

You don't want the roots from your trees and bushes to grow under your pavers. Since many tree and bush roots grow close to the surface, they can easily push up the dirt under you pavers. This will make the pavers uneven, which can prevent a tripping hazard for anyone walking over your pavers. It will also make it very difficult for anyone who uses a walker or a wheelchair to navigate over your pavers. Remove The Pavers If the roots have grown completely under your pavers, you are going to…

as we could. We didn't even think twice about setting up the umbrellas and chairs. All 20 of us ran to the shore and looked out at the breathtaking ocean in front of us. There they were, the big blue bottlenose dolphins, less than 20 feet from the sand. I immediately rushed to my grandpa and asked, “ Papa, can you please take me out on the kayak to see the dolphins?”. And to my…

boats were perched on the shore lingering for people to ride on. Rows of bright freshly - painted beach huts stood proudly side by side like floats in a parade. The never ending golden sand stretched out as far as she could distinguish , waiting patiently for people to leave their mark , a memory imprinted into the sand. She excitedly ran along the awakening beach , towards the aquamarine…

My watch says 9:45 am as I get to work. I took off my sandals as I reached the sand. I strolled across the searing sand as I looked at the shimmering water. The morning fog was slowly burning away as the sun gleamed fierier. The blue lifeguard tower sat high and mighty overlooking the beach. I then climbed the ladder onto the deck. I set my watertight bag and red cooler on the ground. I unlocked the padlock on the side. The padlock releases the side flap and it swung open. I opened the…
