Waimānalo camping

I've been beach camping a few times, most recently on the Waimānalo side.  A great place, never overly crowded, clear water that reflects a fine blue, and soft sand.  Not far away is Kailua, which was the first beach that showed me powdery fine sand, I think back in the seventh grade, on a school trip.  Waimānalo is more out of the way for most people, and so a bit more secluded.  

We pitch tents, BBQ, swim (this beach isn't the best for surfing or boarding, but if you want to do those things, Sherwoods is down the road), go crab-seeking at night, and sleep with the ocean next to us.  When we wake up the air and water usually seem a little cold or at least cool, our sleepiness becomes laziness, and we often don't want the bother of getting wet and needing a shower afterwards; but whenever we do push ourselves from tent to water, we feel that it was worth it.  The morning swim here is very fine; the sun rises on this side of the island.
