Today was a relaxing morning spent by the pool. After lunch we took a drive further up the coast to another local spot for some more snorkeling and boogie boarding with the kids. While we were packing up our things we met a couple that told us about a blowhole that was about seven miles further up the coast. We decided it was worth the drive up there to show the kids. Hubby and I had seen a blow hole before on our 10th anniversay when we were in Ensenada. A person in Ensenada said that there are only three in the world, Mexico, Hawaii and Australia. Come to find out now there may be two more in Hawaii somewhere.
Some of you may be wondering what a blowhole is. It is a hole in the rocky surface. When the waves come the water is forced up through the blowhole creating a geyser effect.
This one was a real treat for the kids because you could get real close to it. The one in Mexico is surrounded by a boardwalk-type bridge. Since it was later in the day the waves were at full force giving us quite the show and spray of water.
The arial views once again were breathtaking and the ocean colors weren't like anything we see here in California.
I think we may have missed this experience had we not bumped into that couple at the beach. There wasn't anything marked on the map indicating that there was a blowhole. All that we found was a small sign, too small even to be seen from off the road. We are so glad we found it and the kids were too!
Aloha for now!
