Turtle Bay is located between Protection Point and Kuilima Point on the North Shore of the island of O'ahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii. The bay is named after the large number of green sea turtles that inhabit the area and who used to lay their eggs in the sand on the beach years ago. ==Geography and environment== The area which is one of the last undeveloped areas on Oahu is recognized for its rock formations, wild coastal beaches, threatened green sea turtles and endangered Hawaiian monk seal habitats, whale spottings, traditional fishing areas, small local agricultural lots and Hawaiian ancestral burial grounds. The beach is sandy but the swimming condition are poor at Turtle Bay because the ocean bottom near shore is rocky. There is a large limestone shelf that spans almost the entire length of the bay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.to-hawaii.com/oahu/beaches/turtlebaybeach.php )〕 The coastal underwater formations are home to one of the most beautiful limu (algae) found in the Islands. Martensia fragilis grows on rocks in tide pools and on reef flats. This iridescent species ranges from light blue to pink and orange in color.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hawaiiantimemachine.blogspot.com/2012/07/limu-of-day-martensia-fragilis.html )〕 About of beaches and of trails surround the bay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turtle Bay, Oahu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
