President Barack Obama spent New Year's Day at the beach and playing tennis on Windward Oahu.
The president began his day with a workout at the Semper Fit gym at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
Just before noon, the president, his family and friends took a short motorcade ride from Kailua, where they are staying, to Pyramid Rock Beach at the edge of the base.
News reporters and photographers traveling with the president were kept away and weren't able to see whether the president went in the water. The Obamas spent part of Christmas Eve at the same white sandy beach.
Pyramid Rock has been dubbed "one of Oahu's bodysurfing jewels" by Midweek magazine. The Marine Corps sponsors an annual bodysurfing contest there. More at Star Advertiser
