Birch Bay, Washington

Birch Bay, Washington is a wonderful area attracting many visitors, particularly in the summer months.  However, the walking trails along the Bay are consistently frequented by local residents who enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding snowcapped mountains.  We left an Irish blessing along the pathway and look forward to hearing from the person who finds it.

Oahu, Hawaii

Pililaau Army Recreation Center, located right along Po'Kai Bay is so beautiful that we left another hei-malau, or fishhook vessel containing the Hawaiian blessing at the top of a stairway access to Po'Kai Bay, but on the other end of the pathway.  The paved walkway all along the bay provides gorgeous views and ocean breezes that are worth revisiting.  We may even leave another behind before we're finished in Oahu!

Another hei-malau, or fishhook vessel containing the Hawaiian blessing is at the top of a stairway access to Po'Kai Bay.  This is a beautiful space located at Pililaau Army Recreation Center in Waianae Hawaii.  Bring your I.D. to enter.  It has a paved walkway all along the bay that is easy to traverse and features gorgeous views. This is a fabulous space perfect for surfing, paddleboarding, snorkeling or any ocean activity imaginable.  It is a lovely space located near shops and restaurants and lots of fun.  Enjoy the walk!

The easy hiking trails available at the Patsy T. Mink Oahu Regional Park are perfect for family walks.  The park also contains more rigorous hikes with trails that gain in elevation as you walk.  The park has tennis courts, a huge swimming pool, a playground and picnic tables.  It is a wonderful place to spend some time.  The  hei-malau, or fishhook vessel containing the Hawaiian blessing is along one of the trails in this park.  Happy hiking!
