FREE (AND ALMOST FREE) THINGS TO DO ON OAHU, HAWAII

I thought it would be fun to participate in the C.R.A.F.T. -- Creating Really Awesome Free Trips link-up. 

10 FREE (AND ALMOST FREE) THINGS TO DO ON THE ISLAND OF OAHU, HAWAII:

1. Sharks Cove: (Named for it's shape, not for having sharks) Perfect beach for kids... and adults to explore.  I've always loved tide pools.  This one is beautiful.
