Lumihana Beach in Kauai. My wife’s favorite beach. Last Thursday it was mine. Lumihana as the beach Hollywood used for the old WWII movie the South Pacific featuring Lana Turner. Normally there is a gentle surge in the beach area but this day a western swell hit creating 12 – 20 feet waves. As we were walking about 100 yards down a secluded path we could increasingly hear the roar and pounding of the waves on the volcanic rock ledge surrounding the beach. I’ve never heard anything so intimidating and violent at the beach. We sat down in our beach chairs and just watched the show nature played out for us. Needless to say we didn’t go into the water.
