travel diary: kauai, hawaii day six

we decided to head down to the south shore of the island today.  we've been hearing about waimea canyon and how it is the 'grand canyon' of the kauai.  it was very large and very beautiful.  it blew our minds that on such a small island the climate was different.  the north shore is very tropical with lots of rainfall.  the south shore was dry and almost dessert like.  felt a little more like home.







**no photos of this but needs to noted was our lunch at shrimp station.  um, yeah, it was dang delicious.
after exploring waimea canyon the first half of the day and since we were down near the south shore, we decided to spend the rest of the day at polihale beach.  
this beach, though not as scenic as the others we had been to, ended up to be my favorite beach we went to on our trip.  the water was calm so we could play and bodyboard without the large ocean waves sweeping us away.  we packed some food for dinner and stayed the rest of the day to see the sunset and stars.  it was perfect.
