Editor's Notes
Lanikai Beach is a half-mile strip of fine sand in Kailua on Oʻahu's windward coast, looking out to the twin Mokulua islets. It is a public beach reached by narrow access paths through a residential area, with no parking lot, restrooms, showers or lifeguards, so plan to park in Kailua town.
