Beach Combing

One of my favorite mornings of our vacation was when Kellie, Travis, Abby, and I walked along the beach. Our destination was Kahuku Point. We started out in a light rain so the only camera I brought along was my iphone tucked safely into a plastic bag. It was low tide and the tide pools were teeming with life.

Abby found a crab.

Sea urchins were plentiful. A live one is on the left and a lifeless one is on the right.

We had never seen a sea cucumber before, but they were everywhere.

When we rounded a corner, a terrible stench greeted us. It only took a few seconds for us to discover this shark. Kellie and Travis poked at it a bit. They were disappointed it had no teeth.

We took our time reaching the Point and gathered treasures along the way.
