I have photographed the beautiful Lanikai Beach from so many angles, but sunrise is by far my favorite. Before anybody shows up on the beach, when the sea is calm and cotton candy colors dance across a clouded sky. I snapped this photo of my best friend taking a photo.

Where to stay in Kailua

With a spectacular view of Lanikai Beach below, Lanikai Pillboxes Hike is one of my favorite places on Oahu, HI. In the distance you can see The Mokes islands. The hike is pretty short, maybe a half hour to hour up to the top where there are a few pillboxes like the one in this photo. #lifeatexpedia

Lanikai

4/5(3 area reviews)

While Lanikai isn't home to many top sights, Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach are some notable places to visit nearby.

Lanikai
Kalama Beach at night.

Kialua is a small town on the east coast of Oahu, well away from the crowds of Honolulu. We rented a house a few blocks from the beach and the kids played there every day.

It was awkward to have strangers coming and going so close to our living quarters ...
