It had been several years since Mary and I walked the length of the Wailea Shoreline Walkway. We walked together part way one morning and I walked the entire length another afternoon. I've tried my best to piece photos from both walks into a monotonic walk south from Elua Village to the Fairmont Kea Lani.

| More chairs and umbrellas extend to the ocean. |

North end of the Wailea Point condos. These go on forever with walls that remind me of Shawshank Prison. |

The Wailea Point shoreline is beautiful, but not inviting for a swim. |

| A plaque described this as a tribute to fishermen, but it looked like another symbol to me. |
 |
| On another walk but north from Elua
Village, Mary and I revisited the Renaissance Hotel Resort. This was the Sheraton when we stayed there 11 years ago and discovered Elua Village next door. |
