On our honeymoon in Hawaii Stacia and I decided to stop at Punalu’u Black Sand Beach in the hopes of finding Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles.
Almost immediately after arriving we spotted a pair of sea turtles, called Honu, resting on the black sand.
The turtles allowed us to approach really close but we obeyed the posted signs instructing us to stay 1 feet away and to not touch. (Unlike some of the visitors who stupidly put their dirty hands on the endangered animals.)
After seeing the Honu we had to get a picture of us with them so we asked a nice couple to take our photo.
How very special that you got to spend time with them. I’m surprised that the area is not more protected. Love the images!
