It is not far east of the Kahului Airport, which means you can get off the plane and get in the water very quickly.While ever-present strong winds and powerful currents do not make the beach a place for beginners, experienced surfers and windsurfers continually flock to Ho'okipa for both recreation and windsurfing competitions.

D.T. Fleming Beach Park Pictures






One more for beautiful beach is D.T. Fleming Beach Park. D.T. Fleming Beach Park on Maui was rated as the best beach in America in 2006 for a good reason. Combine the park facilities with a lot of sand and you have the perfect vacation beach.
DT Fleming Beach Park is one of Maui's nicest beaches with good swimming in summer and pounding surf in winter. The nearby resort area of Kapalua offers upmarket resorts and some of the most challenging golf courses in Hawaii. In contrast to the Bay Course, Arnold Palmer designed this one to be more demanding, with six holes headed straight up the slopes of the West Maui Mountains and nine headed straight down. Length: 6,001-6,632 yards. Maui is a great place for everyone. You can spend hours doing things but its still fun. So...have a fun with yours family in D.T. Fleming Beach Park..

Leaning Tower of Pisa Pictures

The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply The Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.

Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and loose substrate that has allowed the foundation to shift direction. The tower presently leans to the southwest.

The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the highest side. The width of the walls at the base is 4.09 m (13.42 ft) and at the top 2.48 m (8.14 ft). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees.[4] This means that the top of the tower is 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from where it would stand if the tower were perfectly vertical.Read full history of leaning tower of pisa at wikipedia.
