Have you ever seen a more perfect beach than Bellows Beach 🏖? Literally, I was speechless!!😶White sand powder, gorgeous clear teal beach and warm water.💦 This Beach on my picture is located inside the military base. However, there is an area outside of the base that’s dedicated for public use. But it is not nearly as stunning as this one. Besides the Lanikai Beach, this one is another of my favorite place to swim.
