Airport Beach, Redux

An earlier post told of the "Trash Walk" to Airport Beach. Fortunately, there's another route, and once I had a car we were able to enjoy the much more scenic "Blowhole Walk" to Airport Beach.

The path leads along ocean cliffs and blowholes made up of volcanic rock:
Erin stopped to enjoy the beautiful blue water:
Sadly, a local crab fisherman recently fell off these cliffs and presumably drowned. His body was never found. Fortunately, a similar fate did not befall Erin or me. In more upbeat, ridiculous news, recently discovered Vietnam-era explosives were "safely" disposed of near this path. Read about the discovery of said explosives (during road work) here.

Once at Airport Beach we spotted a black tip reef shark. Look closely at the picture:
