It's 5 O'clock Aloha Friday lets have a Lava Flow Recipe! I love Friday evenings relaxing with a tropical drink and dreaming of tropical island vacations!
One of my favorite things when we visit Hawaii is enjoying sunsets. There is something magical about watching the sunset over the water. Our favorite place on the island to take pictures of the sunset is A-Bay also known as Anaehoomalu Bay. You can see why it is called A-Bay by the locals. If you walk down the beach at A-Bay there is a great chance of seeing turtles resting on the beach.

Lava Flow Recipe
Please remember to give the turtles lots of space. This photo was taken with a zoom lens. There is a new beach bar at A-Bay that we have not had a chance to visit yet. We like walking on the beach and enjoying the sunset next to the water.
One of my favorite tropical drinks is a Lava Flow! I love how sweet this drink is without being too overpowering.
Great Tropical Cocktails

Oh my gosh this whole post makes me want to visit Hawaii!! LOL I live in Florida so I am lucky to see sunsets on the water often, and I agree, few things are more breathtaking. Great post and great pictures!

My husband and I have dreamt of visiting Hawaii and even considered booking a vacation this year for our anniversary. My problem is, I see all these wonderful pictures of all the Hawaiian islands and I know I'm gonna want to stay for a very LONG time so I can fully explore. 🙂 We're thinking 2014 may be the year for our Hawaii trip. Your sunset picture is beautiful and I love the turtle shot.

You will love Hawaii! Every time we visit we fall more and more in love with the islands. Our favorite island is the Big Island followed by Maui. So many amazing things to do and see. Let us know if you have any questions about visiting Hawaii.
