We often pick our way over the semi-submerged rocks to ‘sand island’ too. We put on our masks to see who can find the most colorful reef fish, with extra points for spotting a Green Sea Turtle or a Hawaiian Monk Seal hauled out on the shore.

The currents can be strong here and recent research suggests that the dolphins are being disturbed by humans in the water. Part of the excitement is how unpredictable the dolphins are – sometimes I’ll see them… and sometimes I won’t. They come here to rest after a night of hunting, cruising in slow circles during their sleep cycle, but occasionally, one will pirouette out of the water. The water is a little choppy, but between the waves I spot it – a fin! Then two more, quickly followed by a whole pod of Spinner Dolphins.
I don’t normally drag myself out of bed at this early hour, but I’m looking for something special in the bay.
It’s dawn and I’m sitting on Brennecke’s Beach, just one of the best beaches in Poʻipu. Brennecke’s Beach James Abbott / Flickr CC BY-SA 2.0
