July 22, 2011 - Don't Get Wet!

Cousins run from the evening surf at La'aloa Bay Beach Park, just south of Kailua-Kona on Hawaii, following their parents' (joking) instructions of "Don't get wet!"  As any parent will tell you, no explanation for the end result is necessary.

La'aloa Beach - "Very Sacred" in Hawaiian - is also known as Magic Sands, White Sands or Disappearing Sands.  The sand on the small beach can disappear in the span of a day when serious surf conditions are present, but returns slowly once things have calmed down.
