Clear skies would have been nice to walk under, but the mood would
have been
gone and the light would have been harsh. Hanalei Bay is a 3-mile
long perfect crescent of sand surrounded by the world’s rainiest
mountains. Over 500 inches of rain drench nearby Mt. Waialeale every
year and about 100 inches fall on this beach. 5 of the 7 famous
waterfalls can be seen here.
Despite all that rain, days are mostly clear so it still took me several return trips to this beach in order to be here at the right time. Up to seven waterfalls are often seen in the mountains after a good rain shower. The atmosphere created some nice warm filtered light, which turned the sand into gold for a few seconds in between waves. The sun is rising to the left of the frame.
