After leaving Kailua, we moved to an AirBnb on North Shore. We are here at the end of the turtle nesting season, but decided to check out some of the common beaches for turtle sightings anyway.

There are lifeguards on many of the beaches (top-left). Signs telling people to give the turtles a wide berth abound, and every so often you will hear a lifeguard on a bullhorn telling an onlooker to back off and give them more room. As it happens, no turtles actually came on land while we were there, though we did see several in the surf, just at the edge of viewing (top-right and bottom-middle). Had we arrived a month earlier, we heard that turtles were swarming around the local beaches.

It was easy to see where the turtles were being seen in the surf, as that is where the crowds were (middle). Some families ventured out into the tide pools (upper-right), or went snorkeling to see them in the surf (bottom-left). Most of the kids just ignored the turtles, preferring their boogie boards (bottom-right).
