Friday Fotos – Onomea Bay on the Big Island

April 27, 2017 By Terry

Onomea Bay on the Big Island

Onomea Bay looking out to sea
We were so surprised by the serenity in this little bay. Only a few people made the trip down from the road and it was well worth it!

To get to Onomea Bay you must take a windy side road, then walk down an asphalt path to the bay. On the way down, there are several spectacular views. Unfortunately, the day we were there it was very overcast so we had lots of gray. The views were still very impressive and at the bottom where the water from the stream meets the ocean, it’s pure magic.

Just above the bay is the location of a large botanic garden. We didn’t visit the garden, but heard from friends that it is an amazing place. I’m so glad we made the trip down to the bay and would love to go back on a sunny day. Next time, we’ll plan in advance to visit the botanic gardens, too!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.

    I think the word is “serene.” Beautiful photo!
