Hopping off of the Jump Rock at Waimea Bay

Jump Rock, Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaii.  People were doing all sorts of jumps, dives and other sorts of water entry on Sunday afternoon.  Everyone was having a great time including the large crowd of onlookers on the beach.  The parking lot at Waimea was jam packed with people waiting for spaces; however, there was parking at Waimea Valley for $5 if you were willing to walk.  Also, if you came early enough to pack in both, there was a Hawaiian music festival and luau going on in the park in Waimea Valley.

Waimea Valley

Waimea Valley, Hawaii. Alas, this is what I think of when I think of Hawaii. Lush green valleys with gentle showers and light breezes.
