Kailua Beach Hawaii Sunrise

Due to the three hour time zone difference between Hawaii and Colorado, people are usually up early the first morning ... and it's well worth getting up as the sunrise at Kailua Beach is truly spectacular. I didn't shoot any video on this trip, but next time, I might do some time-lapse like the Moon setting over the Colorado Rockies. And needless to say, playing on the beach and in the surf is tons of fun. Also check out the 2011 panoramic pictures of sunrise at Kailua Beach, Hawaii.
