The Place I Know Well


The place that I have spent much of my life at and I know very well is Kailua Beach. Because my home is so close to my place's location I have spent many days and weekends at this beach. When first seeing the beach from my beach access you can see many shades of blue throughout the bay and you slowly begin to feel the soft and powdery sand underneath your feet. As you look over the bay one can spot a rainbow of colors with the kites of kite surfers gliding across the waters surface and as you walk by Flagploles and Kalama beach you see many surfers catching small and gently waves which quickly break on shore. In my special place the waves depend greatly on the tide and the winds direction and speed. I have surfed all across this beach and I know the ins and outs of every spot. When the conditions are perfect the best spot to surf, bodyboard, and bodysurf is flagpoles. Thus named after the silver flagpole with the American flag waving in the sky directly in front of the break. Here at the beach I have spent times with friends and family and I have had a great time. There have also been times in which I was angry because I broke a surfboard or lost something special to me in the water. With all of these special experiences, Kailua Beach is my special place.
