Kalama Beach: Fastest Tan I Ever Got!

(Fargo, ND)

I arrived in Maui shortly after there had been a rainstorm - a friend in Honolulu told me the winds were so strong that the rain was coming down sideways. I saw efforts of clean-up after the storm, but I was determined to go to the beach anyhow and stopped at a few in the Kihei area.

I believe it was Kalama Beach where I drove into a parking area where there was a lot of reddish mud and dirt. I ran to the grassy area and finished putting on my sunscreen. The beach was rocky so I decided to go to another one further down.

I took the "shortcut" to my car and walked across the parking lot. A breeze came up and blew a bunch of the fine reddish dirt all around me. It stuck to me because of my freshly applied sunscreen so it appeared I had a copper-colored tan! Later, I did get to a nice beach and lay in the sun, but never did regain my "tan"!!

Hi Susan!

Thanks for sending in your story!

Everything sticks to freshly applied sunscreen, doesn't it... :) I have very pale skin... I could use an instant copper "tan" like that myself!
