We drove up to the North Shore area one day. On the way stopped at a town know for its artist community and peered into shops and galleries. then on to the North Shore, known for its beautiful beaches.
And yes it had beautiful beaches, so along the way we stopped and took pictures, and and tried to figure out where to stop and get some sun for awhile. We had heard there were fresh shrimp farms out here, that had some good stand where they would cook it up for you, so we decided to head there, and get a bite before decided on which beach to hit.
Of several similar stands, we stopped at one, and ordered upvery fresh and messy (peel and eat) shrimp. I got the classic butter and garlic, and Sharlynn got (well, they messed up her order) a spicy ginger shrimp. Both were really good, and came with rice.
We cleaned up and headed back down the road a little to find the beach we wanted.
Ahhhhhhh....a quickly found parking spot, and onto the warm red sand. The Hawaiian sun is pretty strong, but felt so good as the warm pacific breeze blew nicely over us. This beach was not very touristy at all, and after hitting the water several times in about an hours times, we dried and were on our way.
We drove around almost the whole island that day, missing just the very eastern side, which we planned to explore another day. As we drove north the island became more tropical and rain foresty and very beautiful. Of the three islands we have been to, Oahu was definately the most built up, but the northern part seemed the most "native" Hawaiian area.
