Lydgate - Another Favorite Walk

Again I say, the beaches on Kaua'i are almost always virtually vacant.  Oh, one or two are - relatively speaking - crowded, but most are almost totally private. 

Not even a footprint!  Now swivel to the right and what do you see?

Do you see anyone on this beach?  even on the beach in the background?  Okay, it was a misty day, but when you've only got a vacation of seven days, and you're going to be wet in the ocean anyway, what's a lil' mist?  Trust me, the beaches on Kaua'i are not crowded!

Back to the left, those black, cooled-lava rocks are covered in black crabs.  Rocks will be the only place you find these crabs.  In the sand are what I call "ghost crabs."  They're small, almost transparent,  fast, and fun!

Inland just a tad is a campground, (yes, you can tent camp in Hawai'i - $8 a night), restrooms with showers, a fabulous "bridge" playground/maze, and shelters.  This windbreak wall was built next to a group shelter that was just under construction when we were here before.

Kinda pretty, huh?

One more night here and then we fly back to the mainland and drive to Virginia for a Tuesday start date...
