Makapu'u, Oahu. The waters off of Makapu'u are deep and are known for harboring large ulua (jacks), a favorite of Hawaiian fisherman.

Nice Digs

Lifeguard, Makapu'u, Hawaii. It's a tough job, being a lifeguard at Makapu'u beach. The waves are big and there are people bodysurfing all over the place. The rocks are jagged. There's occasionally a Molokai current sweeping the patrons out to sea. Still, you have to admit that they have a pretty doggone nice lifeguard station. Sure, it's not a two story white cement tower but it's got a built in locker, nice aluminum railings and wrap-around tinted windows. Not too shabby. Oh, and the coconut trees are a nice accent to the decor (grin).
