    Beautiful beach, can get pretty busy, one of the best sunrise spots on the island.

    One of our favourite beaches on Oahu. If you travel light, it may be worth taking the bus because parking is difficult and tickets expensive. The finest sand on the island, clear waters, some reefs for snorkeling and great for long beach walks. It can be windy, but itโ€™s always beautiful. Not much nearby in terms of amenities, so bring snacks and water.

    Very clean beach with calm water see though at time's with a nice stretch of soft white sand. We got there though beach access (3).. just keep your eye out for it. It's the third entrance down after you cross the bridge by the lanikai momentum little Tower thing. They have other entries to the beach but some of them only lead you to rock's and you won't be able to reach the beach from that point and will have to turn around.. and last sense it's a neighborhood beach. There are no showers or restrooms available to use, unless you use them a Kailua beach park. Which is a 1 mile walk if you park there and walked over there like we did. No shade or trees bring umbrella - hat's or sunscreen and snorkeling gear. Comfortable shoes if your walking and a wagon to carry all of your things really helps out. I hopes this helps you out and have a great day.

    Best beach in Oahu! I am so glad I went to this beach. The water is just beautiful and a great spot for snorkeling. The beach was busy but not bad.

    Love this beach! BEWARE there are JELLYFISH! Parking is a pain, no shade, and it can be crowded, but the beach is amazing! Soft sand, gentle waves, kid friendly, and fairly shallow. If I'm in Oahu, I always have to return!

    We went to the north shore about 3 times and have seen many beaches but this one was our favourite. When we arrived, the water was calm and it was very sunny! Perfect beach to relax with an incredible view. I saw some people kayaking, windsurfing and my husband brought the snorkel gear which was so much fun!! We regretted leaving this one last and not having time to come back again! PS: Parking is nuts so head there early! we had to circle around about 4 times to find a spot.

    Loved it. A beautiful adventure! This was well worth the drive from Waikiki! Parking can be difficult on the main street. Keep your eyes peeled for spots on the side streets.

    One of the best beaches I visited in Oahu! Came back a couple of times because I enjoyed it so much. Long stretch of white sand means it never gets too crowded and the water is great for relaxing or snorkelling. Just a heads up there is no parking near this beach (you have to park at Kailua beach and then walk around 15 mins) but definitely worth it.

    Can't recommend enough! Amazing beach, short walk from the parking at the next beach down. A real hidden gem as it is in a residential area. Great view and pristine aqua water!

    We came after it had rained earlier in the day and there was barely anyone here. Incredibly beautiful and peaceful. One of the best beaches around.

  • 5/5 Greecian K. 1 year ago on Google
    The best beach in Oahu!!! This came up as the most beautiful beach to see on the island and it felt like a movie scene! Turquoise blue water, white soft sand, large rock boulders far out in the distance of the water, the landscape of the greenery here... PERFECT for a great taste of Lanikai. This was by far my favorite beach I visited in Oahu. This beach is in a residential area and does not have a parking lot directly on site, but there are parking lots at the lower area and it's just about a 10min walk, not bad at all, so worth it! I saw a gentlemen Kitesurfing on the water, he had quite the audience as it was entertainment for people on the beach. I regret not bringing goggles. The water was prefect for swimming with not too big of waves to go snorkeling. I truly felt like I was having the "REAL" island experience here.

  • 5/5 Sandi T. 10 months ago on Google
    We caught an Uber here from Waikiki (about 40 min drive) but it was definitely worth it!! The drive itself was beautiful, through the mountains and the stunning coast line. The beach was amazing, blue water, white sand and calm water. Perfect place to snorkel too since there is a lot of reef spread out right on the beach, youโ€™ll see beautiful and diverse sea-life! ๐Ÿ  ๐ŸŸ But donโ€™t forget to bring food and snacks, we didnโ€™t see any cafes nearby.

    Beautiful beach. The sand is clean and soft. There are many corals so snorkeling is always fun. You can see fish, turtles and other marine life hear. Expect lots of people as this is a popular beach. You have to park in the surrounding neighborhood as there is no designated parking for this beach. Be mindful of road signs and not blocking driveways. We always have a great time when we visit this beach.

    Plenty of parking if you get here before sunrise. Nice locals all around. Pics all taken with my Google 8 pro. As the sun came up, you can see Diamond Head behind the palm trees on the right.

    Great spot to snorkel, you need to be experienced and a fairly strong swimmer but the reef fish are beautiful. We went off the actual beach away from everyone, there were a few others snorkeling in that area.

    All time favorite beach! ๐Ÿ˜ will always go here to relax and great for my kids! They love the ocean! It does crowed up during afternoon hours but early in the more at sunrise. Take caution with sea animals. Jelly fish early in the AM. But not too crazy Best spot for sunrise! So romantic. Please visit if you can!

    Lanikai is the next beach to the south of Kailua Beach on the east side of the island. You will have to drive through a residential area to get there and find the path to the beachโ€ฆIโ€™m not sure if thereโ€™s more than one access path. No designated parking lot or any other amenities. Itโ€™s more of a local neighbourhood beach. Itโ€™s a long, wide beach and the water looked inviting but it was a super windy day in February when we went so we didnโ€™t go in and couldnโ€™t stay long. Definitely a good spot to check out during the warmer sunny calm days.

    Soft, white sand! Lot's of people bring their dogs off-leash. This beach is directly behind homes, which you enter via passage from the parallel road. Lots of boats/kayaks along the coast. The water it really calm here, at least in October.

    Great beach, beautiful view. This was a nice and relaxing beach to visit. Lots of tourists and locals, so be ready for a popular spot. There arenโ€™t any amenities, stores, or rental spots around so bring with you everything youโ€™ll need. Once there itโ€™s a nice spot to swim, relax, and snorkel.

  • 5/5 M Hayes Island Blue F. 1 year ago on Google
    Family lives right in the middle of resident neighbor on Lanikai Beach. Beautiful pristine waters, fine sand beach. Of course parking is easy, Because family owns 2 houses side by side, creating extra parking between both properties. Coming into Lanikai, can be a little disheartening, with visitors creating unnecessary traffic, while waiting for street parking to become available. Other tend to park illegally, inturns tow trucks and police vehicles adding to some of the congestion. But once you can make it to the beach... good times.

  • 5/5 James F. 4 years ago on Google
    We arrived here after making our way from Laniakea beach. We spent most of the afternoon here and then watched the sun set which was amazing. The beach its self is quite nice however there are a few bits of drift wood towards the sand dunes and road, so watch your feet. We ended up at the northern end of the beach at the overflow carpark as the majority of parking on the way up was taken. This didn't bother us as we found a great little place to get drinks for sunset. The lady at the Coco Hut was really nice and made some great smoothies at good prices. Would deffinately recommend paying a visit if your up that part of the beach.

    A very beautiful and clean beach dogs are welcome, lots of turist come to this beach. The parking is limited people they will give you a ticket if you park in front of a home, so this beach has a parking area, parking is limited and if you really want a good parking wake up early morning because it does get crowded.

  • 3/5 Nathan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great beach for surfing, not for inexperienced swimmers. Sunset Beach gets very busy and it can be impossible to find parking during the tourist season. There are plenty of other less crowded beaches where you can see the same sights and swim in the same ocean. Don't go swimming unless you are very experienced as the water can get quite rough.
