This past Sunday on Maui there was a big celebration at Baldwin Beach Park, just outside of Paia. It was to be an Earth Day celebration, with information booths, entertainment and food. Since the permits weren't obtained in time, they had to downsize the event. Nevertheless, there was a huge amount of cars parked at the park, and up and down the Hana Highway. So many cars in fact, that we decided to skip it and headed to the next closest beach, at the other end of Baldwin Beach.
If you drive through the residential area of Spreckelsville, towards the Maui Country Club, you'll find this beautiful stretch of white sand, known as Baby Beach. The large tidepool makes a great safe place for small kids to play in the water. Well we certainly enjoyed ourselves for a couple of hours. The usual tradewinds were nowhere to be found, and the sun was shining. It sure feels good to relax at the beach and swim in the ocean.
Did you do anything memorable on Earth Day?

I'm going to use this beach photo when I meditate today. : )
Wendy - me too! Today we're getting rain, with no end in sight.
Georgina- Are there fish in the tidepool? We have a beach about 45 minutes from us that is called Bathtub Reef and it is a reef with that low tidepool. My son loves it so much because there are so many tropical fish there. I still like Hawaii's beaches better.
Katerina - yes there were fish and a sea cucumber too. kids had fun with that!
GOOD MORNING GEORGINA! I did not do anything as wonderful as going to a beach in Hawaii! I'll be back in a couple months and will celebrate Earth Day a little late - this way! -- Gabrielle
Gabrielle - I bet you'll have a good time when you return to the islands!
I walked a mile up El Cajon Boulevard and then back, and picked up trash on both sides of the street.
Russel you're a real champ! I hope you were able to make it look much better.
