Kapalua Beach
Originally uploaded by webnelly

Kapalua Beach is a lovely beach in West Maui just north of Ka’anapali. It is a crescent beach that is isolated by two rock piers jetting out into the ocean on both sides. You can find an aerial view of the beach (courtesy of Google Maps) from our page here. When viewing that aerial image, this photo was taken from the North lawn area looking South towards the beach and water. When you’re on the beach itself, this grassy area doesn’t seem to be very accessible because of the construction of the Kapalua Bay resorts going on nearby, but after I saw a few workers taking their lunch break sitting out there (how nice is that) I decided to grab my cameras (photo and video) and went for a walk.

You can find more of our Kapalua Beach photos at our site here or in our Flickr set. You can also check out our Kapalua Beach videos on YouTube.

Maui '07 Trip Videos on YouTube

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

After a short delay and a small learning curve on how to best encode videos from my Sony Handycam for the web, our videos from our Maui ’07 trip are now posted on YouTube. You can watch those videos directly on YouTube here and add your comments or feedback, or you can check out the Videos page of the Our Trips section here at the site.

Enjoy.

Sea Turtle Videos Uploaded

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Aloha,

Finally getting back to some of the goodies from our September trip, I processed and uploaded a few clips of the Sea Turtles outside of our hotel room balcony to the Videos page.

We had a lot of fun watching the sea turtles from our hotel room. We would walk up, pull the curtains and slide open the door, wait a few minutes, and you’d see one or two. We’d come back from a walk to Whalers Village or sitting down by the pool, and they’d be out there. Even when getting ready for dinner, we’d still catch one of those little guys hanging out there by Black Rock.

When we visit Maui, we stay at the Sheraton in Ka’anapali, and absolutely love it. We reserve a deluxe ocean front room in the Hale O Ka Moana building, which is right behind Black Rock and has beautiful views of Molokai and even Lanai. We also get to see some of the sailboats and snorkelers that like to pass on by Black Rock, and even just sitting out on the balcony is good for at least a half an hour.

Anyway, seeing that we’re not underwater people (yet), we’re pretty happy with these views of the honu, short of visits to the Maui Ocean Center. We hope you like the clips.
