Lydgate Beach

In the middle of our week we decided to try Lydgate Beach. It is a kid friendly beach with a lava rock wall pool. It was the perfect place for Ava. She enjoyed going in the water because it was calm. She especially liked her daddy throwing her high in the air. Ava also had a good time playing in the sand with her Nona. The only bad part was Ava's eyes became red and irritated from the salt water and sand.

While Ava had fun with her Nona, Rich and I went snorkeling. There was a nice area for snorkeling and we saw a lot of fish. We bought some peas to feed the fish, but forgot them at the hotel. We decided to improvise and use some of Ava's Cheerios in a zip-loc bag. It did the trick. We had schools of fish swarming around us. It was exciting and a little scary when one big fish nipped my finger. Rich and I enjoyed ourselves, but decided Poi'pu was better because the water was clearer and easier to see the fish.
