A drive along the Puna coastline
Driving the Puna Coastline – a photo tour
It’s been awhile since I’ve gone out to enjoy a beautiful day outside, I know you would think living in Hawaii that you would want to be outdoors everyday. That’s true, but it’s also easy to get distracted by daily chores, Internet activities and other distractions that occur daily.
But waking up early and seeing the sky so clear and blue has induced me to spend a little time outdoors…..
somewhere by the ocean – heading out to take a nice drive along the coastline in the Puna district.
I love driving under these tree canopies covering the roadway along the Red Road in Puna….its so lush!
~ what do you think – gorgeous right?
Driving along there are some peek-a-boo views to the ocean and secret bays – stopping to enjoy the amazing views like this one below….
It’s a great drive and the breezes coming from the ocean are soooo nice against my face.
It’s pleasant enough to just sit and enjoy the view, watch the surfers and look at different shades of blue ocean around the bay – the Wind is kicking up and creating a surfing frenzy….
Even the skies are brilliant today, with Puffy clouds over head…dreamy….
Glad I took the drive and enjoyed a few hours outdoors – isn’t this what its all about in paradise?
– Have you done a fun road trip lately….tell me where did you go that I should also visit soon?

What beautiful pictures and I had never heard of the Puna Coastline. Thank you 🙂
Such gorgeous vistas! How wonderful to actually live there. Thanks for sharing these great photos.
Thanks Debbie for the comment, appreciate it. Come and link up with us next Monday for the Travel Photo Monday carnival I host 🙂
Stunning photos, Noel. You do indeed live in Paradise.
I know how easy it is to make things fade into the background so I hope you leave the daily chores, the Internet, etc., to enjoy it more.
Lovely photos – and I have lovely memories of Hawaii. My husband and I were married in Honolulu in 1978 – just the two of us, a judge and his clerk who served as a witness. It worked for us – 34 years later here we are. We lived just outside of Honolulu (Hawaii Kai) for a little over a year before moving back to CA. It took us 20 years before we returned to visit Maui and the Big Island, which we love.
Thanks so much for that comment, what a wonderful history of living on the island, thanks for sharing this.
It looks like we’ll be in Paradise, um, I mean Hawaii, for three months next winter. I’ll be checking your photo collection for inspiration about where to go.
What beautiful pictures! I can almost see the wind!
I love driving and good scenery so this would be perfect!
Gorgeous pics — each one! Love how you caught that surfer. Almost looks like you had to be on a board next to him. 🙂 We really enjoy road trips — long ones or those close to home. Have you taken the Pacific Coast Highway along the California coast?
Beautiful shots! Thanks for posting at Travel Photo Thursday.
That first b&w shot is very dramatic. It would make a nice wall hanging.
The photo of the surfer is AMAZING! I know what you mean by taking the everyday beauty for granted. I grew up in the great plains of the Red River Valley of the north. Every time I visit I tell myself–was it always this peaceful and beautiful?!
We took this drive in August of last year. It was beautiful (as are your pictures!)
Hi Amy,
Glad you got to visit, isn’t it beautiful? Thanks for the comments.
Did you take all these photos? They are magnificent!
thank you, yes these are my images, it’s an inspiring place!
It’s hard to take a bad picture in Hawaii but it’s also hard to get great ones like these!
The Red Road is definitely gorgeous. Thanks for taking us on a breathtaking ride in your paradise. Lovely photos.
I do like these photos. They are surprising, I felt myself looking forward to what the next one might be.
Beautiful photos – the surfer is my favourite! We have only visited Hawaii (Maui and Oahu) once but it remains one of the loveliest places that I have ever been.
Beautiful photos! Yes, I did take a road trip recently, but my views don’t even begin to compare with yours. Although if you’re into roadside attractions….
Great photos 🙂
