Lighthouses always have such unique character. The building on the left is now a small
museum.

Kahalu'u Beach is very popular with tourists, locals and sea turtles.
The turtles get pushed around by the waves and sometimes find themselves high on rocks and half to crawl off.

This turtle was hauled out on the rocks in front of the Life Guard station.

I felt bad about this photo - I'm not sure Mark should have been so close.
The turtle wasn't disturbed, but it might have set a bad precedent.

This was at the place of refuge - the fish were less tame than Kahalu'u Beach, but the background
was much more interesting and the water was clearer.

These seem like classical aquarium fish.

There are a fair number of Boxfish at Kahalu'u Beach and they are so curious that
they seem agressive - they will follow the humans around.

These fish are solitary - they don't school, but they will often tag along with other fish.

There are a few types of coral.  The brain coral is fun but there is also a rounder coral that is common.
Where bare rock is exposed sea urchins are often present.
