P.S. to my friends on Oahu. Another place we used to see honu on your island was up north near Haleiwa. Anyone know if they're still found around there?

Hi HVG and Evelyn -

Thanks for stopping by and for your nice comments. Looks like we will have to include both of you guys in our honu lovers' group.

I will be doing some more posts about our Puako turtles, so check back from time to time.

Malama na honu!

This is a great post, Bobbie! Great pictures and cool information! I need to find out from skeet just where those guys are that she's talking about. I have heard other people say they see turtles on the Waianae Coast, but for all the years I lived there, I never saw them. We used to hang out on the reef just past Makua cave, along the shoreline in Maile (getting cut up on the reef... good fun!) and hanging out at Pokai Bay and Rest Camp. I must say that the boat harbor was not a place I used to go, that much I do have to admit. Maybe I'm just blind to them unless they're swimming right next to me! :) I dunno! Anyway, love this post and I can only imagine just how beautiful the shoreline is up close and personal! :)

Aloha Bobbie,
Nice to meet you through the Carnival of Aloha! It is always exciting to me to know of another Big Island blogger!

Really great article about Puako.

Hi Skeet -

Thanks for the follow-up with the link to your post(s). The Waianae turtle looks like a green to me, too.

It also looks like it needs to swim on over here to the Big Island for a cleaning. There's a well-known turtle cleaning station at our favorite dive site in Puako (and come to think of it, that would be a good topic to write about!).

Here's another turtle ID resource, from NOAA:

Bobbie, I posted about a turtle that lives in Waianae Boat Harbor back in June. One of my regular readers, who works with terrapin in Malaysia, thought it was a hawksbill, but I was pretty sure it was a green. I posted another picture with the scutes more visible the next day and confirmed that it was as green sea turtle. Here's a link to the first post, with alink to the second in the comments:

I'll go to the secret/locals only beach soon and get some photos of our friends working on their tans.

Lucky we live Hawaii? No question about it! :0)

@ Sheila

Next time you and your husband come to the Big Island, get in touch and we'll take you to Puako to see the turtles.

@ Skeet

Nice to hear from another honu-lover. I didn't know that the turtles were 'working on their tans' over on the Waianae coast of Oahu as well.

If you write an article about the honu on your island, let me know, and I'll link to it.

I woke up this morning thinking that I want to visit my favorite tidepool/honu beach before the next edition of the Carnival of Aloha so I can submit a post about it, lol! Great minds and all that stuff, I guess. Mine is on the Waianae Coast and I'll tell all about it soon, even if the idea won't be original to the carnival. :0) Mahalo for sharing the Puako shoreline so beautifully!

Puako shoreline does look outstanding! Your photos are fantastic!
