    I go here almost a few times a month in the morning to watch the sunrise. Its a gorgeous place to gather. This is the best place on the island to watch the sunrise. By the way, dont all come here at once because I cant take pictures and have my bubbly alone. Lol. 😂🤴🏿👑😉

    Awesome spot to chillax and very safe to swim. The island in distance is a bird sanctuary so you can walk around perimeter only if you can get there. Caution rip tide on way back in so save your energy if you dare to swim it!! Limited parking and remember to always leave beach cleaner than you arrived!!

    (Translated by Google) The sea is also beautiful, there is a parking lot and there is a toilet bowl, so it is absolutely recommended. You can get there from Ala Moana in about 45 minutes by bus, so you don't have to rent a car. (^ _ ^) v On the way, if you buy food and drink at a target of Kailua, it is perfect 🤘 🤘 (Original) 海も綺麗で、駐車場も有りトイレ🚻も有るので絶対お勧めです。 アラモアナからバスで約45分で来れるので、レンタカーが無くても大丈夫です。(^_^)v 途中、カイルアのターゲットで飲食物と蓙を買って行けば完璧😃✌️ですよ🤘

    A beautiful spot to capture some great photos of the surrounding beach and islands. The walk up is not bad and the view is gorgeous!

    (Translated by Google) The scenery is good and it is very good to take pictures. Just stop it, so if you come from Kailua stop at the beach parking garage on your side and head over. I will stop by before you go to the pill box! (Original) 景色がよく、写真を撮るにはとてもいいです。ただ停車はできませんので、カイルアから来るなら手前のビーチパーク駐車場に停めて、向かいましょう。 ピルボックスへ行く前に立ち寄れます!

    Awesome area

  • 4/5 Tiger W. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you can see this, it's only a little to Lanikai beach. (Original) これが見えたらラニカイビーチまであとわずかですよ。

  • 4/5 Jake 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a big monument of Lanikai. It is a very nice view, overlooking Kailua Beach. (Original) ラニカイの大きなモニュメントです。カイルアビーチが一望でき、とても良い景色です。

    (Translated by Google) I wish I could go to Sandbar on this day, but it was cold on the day. (Original) この日にサンドバーに行けたら良かったのに、当日は寒くて・・・。

  • 4/5 Michael M. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful sunrises at either Lanakai beach (recommended) or the beach just to the North.

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful entirely clean beach with clear water and a great view of a long winding shore. Plenty of coral close to the shore where you can snorkel and see all kinds of fish (butterfly, angel, needle, humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, wrasse, box, Moorish idol, on and on). A few islands you can swim or kayak to as well. Generally calm waters when we were there in February so it was good for kids and paddle boarding, but not so much surfing.

    Beautiful view

  • 5/5 jonathan t. 5 years ago on Google
    super view

  • 2/5 Lisa Kuniyoshi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Roadside marker. Easy to miss. Not much to see.

  • 1/5 Derek B. 2 years ago on Google
    That picture is misleading. It is perhaps 10 ft tall at most and on the edge of the road next to a guardrail. The beach at this park is nice but it's not worth the drive to see only the monument.

  • 5/5 Joe R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great views of the beach.

  • 5/5 Perien B. 4 years ago on Google
    Monument indicating the entrance to the Lanikai neighborhood established in 1924. Very expensive houses mark this neighborhood.

  • 5/5 Joe G. 4 years ago on Google
    If you are in Lanikai stop and get your scenic photo of Kailua bay and the monument

  • 5/5 K S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Amili R. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful views, beautiful ocean, beautiful people. I've been to the islands for 3 years now and I swear It never gets old. It's all about ohana and love 🤙🏽✨

    Great place to spot turtles near Kailua Beach The downside is that this place is commonly overrun by the homeless and safety in the area may be an issue.

  • 5/5 Ambulante /. 4 years ago on Google
    A very nice beach , I felt like I was swimming in a pool , let me name it , Natural pool beach .

  • 5/5 James R. 4 years ago on Google
    I live in the neighborhood and this spot is loved by my children. Marks the beginning of Lanikai and is a unique feature of this lovely little beach community. My children always lo e.to run up to the monument and run around it. If you walk between the monument and the guardrail, you can get to the shore below and get a closer look at the water. Always love seeing this on the drive home from work.

    (Translated by Google) The sand was very beautiful. I think it's hard to see in Japan. A beach with no Japanese. (Original) 砂がとても綺麗でした。 日本ではなかなかお目にかかれないと思います。 日本人のいないビーチです。

    This is a monument I walk around often, it holds sacred energy and I believe it gives good luck to those who walk around it. Just my belief...it works for me!

  • 2/5 Kevin 4 years ago on Google
