Aloha electric sheep fan:
dunno why you picked Beach Lots for your stay, but just wanted to alert you that a little farther down the red road is Kapoho Kai. Make the left turn and follow the road till it deadends, turn left and you will end up at the 'parking area' for the wonderful Wai 'Opae tidepools, less crowded (except on weekends in nice weather, that is), lots of beautiful corals and many fish varieties to see. Head out to the far right near the rusted chainlink fence and get in there, swim over the 'hump'very close to the get-in spot and begin exploring. If you are adventurous there are several journeys up washes that will take you to a series of ponds each more wondrous than the last.
Also nearby and worth a visit (but be especially cautious w. car keys) is the Ahalanui Hot Ponds just a bit farther up the red road. Continue on and you will end up at Pohoiki State Park which is good for people watching, picnicking, swimming.
Enjoy your stay. (our house info at vrbo.com/79299)
