Our time at the black sand beach was made even more special when we spotted this sea turtle. He was sunning on a rock and completely oblivious to us. When we looked closer, we spotted another three partially submerged in the water beyond the rocks. If you look closely in this picture, you can see one above the turtle in the forefront, just inside the rougher water, and another on the left side. They look like oddly round and smooth rocks.
Beautiful beach. So, before 8 am, we saw the lava glow, this beautiful black sand beach, and four sea turtles. On a normal day at home, I haven't even left the house by 8 am!

We stopped for breakfast in a tiny town along our drive. Elliott was really excited about something here. Aren't those teeth cute?
That's love.
After a visit to a local playground and park to let E crawl around for a while, we made our way to South Point. This is the southernmost point in the US. There are steep cliffs that drop off about a hundred feet into crystal clear water. The wind whips through this area, making you think twice about getting close to the edge for fear a gust will push you over the edge. Another visitor took a few pictures of us, none of which was great but here is one.
Looking north at the beautiful cliffs
You can see how clear the water is here. There were locals fishing off the cliff. You can do modified longline fishing out a few hundred feet and catch blue water fish like marlin, tuna, and mahimahi.
Up to the Kohala Coast next!
