Norh Shore and Turtle Bay

On Sunday, we headed up north to North Shore.  I loved the drive!! It was easy going till we hit Sunset Beach but the surroundings were beautiful and completely different than Honolulu.  We passed the Dole Plantation, which we plan on touring soon, fields of pinneapples, and could see the ocean for much of the drive.  North Shore was a small surf town called Hale'iwa.  This is what I always thought of when I heard Hawaii.  The best thing about the beach was the sand.. when dry, it wipes right off, no need to rinse.  Most of North Shore is No Swimming due to strong under currents and a rocky shore.  We will come back here for sure, even if just to sit and play in the sand and watch the surfers.  After the beach, we ate lunch at Jamesons by the Sea.  We were able to get a table outside and the food was great.  I highly recommend this resturant.  Then we headed to Turtle Bay.  The drive there was slow due tto traffic from Sunset Beach (which was beautiful as well) and since there were no turtles on the shore, a bit dissapointing.  Hopefully, we can make it back sometime to see the turtles on the shore.  Sometime this week, we plan on coming to Sunset Beach to see the sunset :)
