Walking around the shoreline path at Wailea, between the beaches there are rocky areas like this one where the waves come crashing in.

What first caught my attention, and the reason I climbed down the mud slope to get to the rocks, were the large black crabs that were climbing over them. Unfortunately, it seems that the crabs do not like their photo being taken and scuttled away before I got even close to them.

I think that this shot captures some of the ruggedness of an area more commonly associated with soft sand beaches, luxury hotels and condominiums these days.
