Still Doing The South Maui Beach Walk

As we mosey along on our South Maui Beach walk, we look to our right, and we see a beautiful wedding chapel located on the grounds of the Grand Wailea Resort. I've posted photos of this building before on my blog from other angles.
Continuing on our winding walk past the gorgeous resorts, we notice a stone honored with leis and a sign that translates to Sacred Area. The name for stone is pohaku, and stones were of vital importance in old Hawai'i.

The old Hawaiians believed stones possessed mana and some pohaku had deities residing within them. A stone could also be a temporary resting spot for higher beings. There are all kinds of sacred stones: stones for birthing, healing. fertility, etc. The shape of the stone often determined it's special mana. Stones even possess gender. What do you feel about this one? Male or female?
We've been walking for some time now. Don't you want to take a rest on this lovely lounge chair made for two and look out to sea and dream a bit before resuming our walk tomorrow?

More Of Our South Maui Beach Walk

If you've just joined our South Maui Beach Walk, go back a couple of posts to see what you missed. For those of you walking with me, we have rounded the corner from Wailea Point, and we look down upon the beautiful beach fronting the very glamorous Four Season's Resort. This is Blogtrotter's favorite so he commented, and it's much less kid-friendly than the following hotel we come across next-- the Grand Wailea Resort, and that is the buildings of the GW in the distance, not the Four Seasons.

I've posted many photos of the Four Seasons in other posts (as it's one of my favorite resorts too!), so we're moving on....
We look to our left and see the way khool trampoline in the ocean in front of the Grand Wailea Resort. I've always wanted to swim out and try this one out, but I've never done it yet. I'll have to do this someday. Doesn't it look like fun?
And to our right, we see families playing in a kid-friendly beach/lagoon creation of the Grand Wailea Resort.
The Grand Wailea Resort has great water features and a slide if you're into that kind of thing. Count me in for water slides. Love them! My inner child is alive and well.

Notice the clothing on these children? The Maui sun can burn your skin very fast, and these children are wearing protective clothing.

Join me tomorrow for more South Maui Beach Walk.
