An early panorama in my panoramic experience. I had not yet learnt how to cope with breaking waves and changes in lighting levels, so this panorama of Hapuna Beach does not really do it justice. However, you can still clearly see it has miles of golden sand and deep blue seas. Not without reason is Hapuna beach one of the most popular beaches on Hawaii Island.
