Description

Lanikai Beach - Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii

You can see Rabbit Island on the very far right and if you look very close you can see Molokai and Lanai. What a day!

Lanikai Beach is located in Lanikai, a neighborhood within Kailua, on the windward coast of Oahu, Hawaii. This small 0.5 mile beach has been constantly ranked among the best beaches in the world. Adjacent to Lanikai Beach is a primarily upper-class residential area, because of this it is only accessible through public beach access paths. Although the beach itself is public property, it is not state land and is not a county beach park like many beaches in Hawaii. There is no public parking lot and the area lacks facilities like restrooms, showers or lifeguards.

During the weekdays the beach is relatively empty, but on weekends during peak tourist season it can become extremely crowded. Due to its position on the east side of the island, Lanikai is recognized as being great place to watch the sunrise over the Mokuluas.
