A few things to take into consideration when beaching and surfing in Hawaii. Make sure your sunscreen is reef-friendly. Often sunscreen not purchased here in Hawaii has certain chemicals that harm our beloved ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. If you get the honor of seeing any sea life, it's best to avoid getting close to them, touching them, or disrupting them in any way. Remember we are in their home when we go to the ocean. Leave the land the way you found it and show aloha to the land and the people.
