Lanikai Beach

This little treasure has plenty of soft sand and seclusion for a morning of peaceful sunworshipping or swimming. This beach used to be about a mile long but development has caused erosion, making it about a half-mile. But a great half mile! The two lovely offshore islands make it a picture postcard spot. The wind is also good here for sailing and windsurfing. There is even some good snorkeling to be had. Access is only available by the public access walkways. Please respect residents property.

There is no lifeguard out here or amenities. Watch out for the Portugese Man-of-War (jellyfish) and stinging limu (seaweed) especially from June through September.

Take Highway 72 north from Honolulu to the junction with Highway 61. Turn left on to Kailua Road.

Location: Lanikai Beach is located in the Windward East Region
