We were anchored off the long stretch of beach on Uoleva Island. It looked nice enough, but not that special aside from being so long. We planned to head to another island today and nearly opted not to go ashore as it was such a gray and cloudy morning, but we figured we should at least go walk on this beach after making the effort to get here.
The sun came out as we neared the beach, and once again I was reminded that you don’t really see a place until you go ashore. What looked like long, boring stretch of sand from the boat turned out to be one of the most beautiful, enchanting beaches we’ve been to.
We made an easy beach landing, then walked down towards the point. This beach made coming to the Ha’apai island group well worth the effort. -Cyndi
