Around the halfway mark of our trip I really wanted to visit a place called Black Rock. All the guidebooks and websites sing the praises of this snorkeling beach. The only problem with this is popularity = crowds. And Black Rock is located in the resort area of Kaanapali - very pretty but extremely limited on free beach parking. I think we ended up parking in a hotel garage and paying something like $20 for the whole day.

| Black Rock, straight ahead. |
 |
| Paddle boarders. I may try this next time we go on vacation. |
 |
| Nice smooth ride with a catamaran - saw lots of these in Maui. |
Kaanapali is where all of my friends with little kiddos go to vacation. Super easy to walk straight from a resort hotel room right down to the beach. No muss, no fuss, no struggling with gear in the car, etc. D and I noticed that Hawaii is much more family-friendly than say, Mexico.

| Had no problems finding a nice spot on the beach since we arrived early. |
 |
| Snorkelers at Black Rock. After sunning ourselves for a while, D and I grabbed our snorkel gear and joined in. The water was super clear but there weren't a lot of fish to be seen. |
 |
| Little birdies looking for food morsels. |
 |
| This one found a perfect perch for himself on our neighbor's snorkel gear. |
 |
| Ahhhhhh..... |
 |
| Some brave souls walked the length of the rocks and then jumped off. |
 |
| Splash! |
 |
| The little black speck in the middle of the photo is a turtle. |
After a nice morning/afternoon we headed back to Lahaina. I may have gotten too much sun this day and ended up with a mild case of heatstroke. So sad - my feeble Alaska body can't handle the heat!
