Glass Beach

The "sand" is made of all bits of recycled glass bottles from the recycling plant that was washed away into the ocean when the Hurricane hit several years ago. The waves and sand make the glass smooth!

I found ophi's!!!!!  They were covering the rocks!

Back to Moola'a Bay and I found even more Opihi!

Carter and Chris at Moola'a Bay (our backyard for the week!)
