Staying Above High Tide

One of the best things about staying at Mana Kai is beach access - take the elevator to the lobby, walk south, and you are on the broad, brown sandy edge of the Pacific.

So on our first, full day in Paradise, we fell out of bed about 7:15 a.m., brushed our teeth, threw on some duds, slathered our pasty-white skin with sunblock, donned our broad-brimmed sun hats, and headed out the door.

There isn't much of a breeze on the beach at 8 a.m. and the flat water makes for a smooth ride to nearby Molokini for those who want to dive and snorkel, or the boat loads of fisherman hanging offshore.
