One of Hawaii's best spots for swimming, gold-sand Lanikai's crystal-clear lagoon is like a giant saltwater swimming pool that you're lucky enough to be able to share with the resident tropical fish and sea turtles. Too gorgeous to be real, this is one of Hawaii's postcard-perfect beaches: It's a mile long and thin in places, but the sand's as soft as talcum powder. Prevailing onshore trade winds make this an excellent place for sailing and windsurfing. Kayakers often paddle out to the two tiny offshore Mokulua islands, which are seabird sanctuaries. Because Lanikai is in a residential neighborhood, it's less crowded than other Oahu beaches; it's the perfect place to enjoy a quiet day. Sun worshipers should arrive in the morning, though, as the Koolau Range blocks the afternoon rays.

There are no facilities here, just off-street parking. From Waikiki, take the H-1 to the Pali Highway (Hwy. 61) through the Nuuanu Pali Tunnel to Kailua, where the Pali Highway becomes Kailua Road as it proceeds through town. At Kalaheo Avenue, turn right and follow the coast about 2 miles to Kailua Beach Park; just past it, turn left at the T intersection and drive uphill on Aalapapa Drive, a one-way street that loops back as Mokulua Drive. Park on Mokulua Drive and walk down any of the eight public-access lanes to the shore. Or, take TheBus no. 56 or 57 (Kailua), then transfer to the shuttle.

Oahu is not just board surfing, sunset sails, luau's, and high rise Waikiki. No, just head over the Pali Pass from Honolulu to Kailua/Kaneohe. No secret , the white powder sand will amaze you, but the waters are for windsurfers and kitesurfers, The windward side of the Island makes it the paradise all windsurfers and kitesurfers are looking for, and the best part about it, is that it's a big ocean.

Rentals are available in Kailua and the beaches have grassy areas to picnic in to avoid the blast from the sand that can kick up. It is the windy side, remember. Up the beach from Kailua, toward Kaneohe, the sand mellows out to a less blasting feel and the beaches are not that touristy. Lay back and relax.. the little ones, keiki's, if you have children, will enjoy the beach. aloha.

Located at the entrance to Honolulu Harbor, Sand Island was extensively used by the military during WWII for coastal defense. Today, bunkers and lookout towers stand deserted and appear totally out of place among acres of grassy park land. Long white beaches extend around the tip of the island and are never crowded. Park benches and giant trees provide shady areas to watch the sunset or the ships sail in and out of the busy harbor.. TAKE SAND ISLAND ACCESS ROAD FROM NIMITZ HIGHWAY
