To be just inches from such cool and calm creatures is something I hope everyone gets to experience while in Hawaii! The beaches listed below often have turtles there, but a sighting is no guarantee as these are wild animals with minds of there own :)

Back in 2013 I made the life changing decision to go to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. My decision to come here was pretty easy. I was recruited to swim for the D1 program here, and knew I wanted to go to a school by the beach. After a few trips to Florida and one to Hawaii -- the decision was effortless. Over the next 3 years I got to have one of the most unique college experiences.

Welcome to Frost City! This sweet spot was the founder of snow here in Hawaii (behind Mauna Kea of course ;)). The local dessert shop located on Beretania has changed the 'ice cream' experience forever. Here you will not find classic flavors or items, instead you will be treated with unique desserts all the way from Taiwan. Snow is a very healthy mix between ice cream and Shave Ice. Because it is made with real fruit and very little sugar it is a perfect treat that won't leave you feeling guilty.
