Location:Mokolua Drive Kailua, HI
Lanikai Beach Park is one of the smaller beach parks on the island. However, this half mile sandy beach has won numerous awards for one of the best beaches. The rare turquoise blue water is my favorite character of this beach. Beach goers enjoy the swimmable waters and tide pools. Kayakers entertain in venturing to its offshore islands. Water conditions are generally pretty mellow but, kayakers need to be very cautious of the outer current that runs between the beach and offshore islands.
This alluring beach park is generally not a crowded beach. Parking is limited as a portion of the oceanfront lines private residences. I would recommend packing a lunch and chairs as facilities are not available at this park.
Hawaii Hideaways offers plenty of luxury vacation rental homes in Lanikai. This small area makes the beach very accessible from any home in the area. Inquire at (866) 96-ALOHA to learn more about those rental properties.
