Salt Pond Beach Park

This annual camping trip is held at Salt Pond Beach Park in Hanapēpē during the Labor Day Weekend. It's not a roughing-it type of camping. There are toilets/sinks/beach showers. The Nonakas even bring their own homemade shower stall (made of canvas and pipes) that uses the pipe water and a paloma to heat it. No cold showers. YAY! Out of the 40 or so people that stay there overnight, only had three family tents up. One was our little 4-man pop-up tent. Everyone else slept on cots under the huge tent. Very ʻohana-ish. But I needed my own space. Haha!

But the beach here is beautiful. A little walk down from the campsite is the beach. And if you walk more towards the end, there is the kiddie section. This is where baby had his first beach experience. I think he enjoyed himself. But it wasn't long till his head was a bobbin' and he started to get tired. I think we took longer getting him sunscreened than the total amount of minutes he was actually in the water. Oh well. Atleast he got to touch the ocean. =)
