Lanikai, which in Hawaiian means heavenly sea, is constantly voted one of the best beaches on the islands, and it's easy to see why. From the pristine blue green water to the perfect golden sand, it's a great spot to soak up some Hawaiian sunshine. The access points to the beach run along a very narrow road in a residential area, so it might take awhile to find parking. Kayakers can be seen heading out to Nā Mokulua, the two small islands less than a mile from the shore. #beach #hawaii #oahu #lanikai #colorful #blue #bestof5

This is my favorite beach on Oahu, hands down.

5/5 - Excellent

This is by far the best beach I visited on Oahu! It wasn't crowded or empty--just the perfect amount of people to feel safe. The waters were calm and perfect for relaxing or kayaking. Parking isn't too difficult to find as long as you come before noon.

Try to get there early because parking is a pain.

Beautiful beach!! Parking is challenging, but the beach is worth once you find a spot.
