Lanikai beach is situated on the north-western coast of the Oahu island in Hawaii. This beach is often ranked as one of the best beaches in the world. “Lani kai” translates to “Heavenly Ocean” in Hawaiian language.
Next to Lanikai you can visit Kailua Beach park. Lanikai is maybe not ideal for snorkeling but its calm waters attract plenty of beginner and pro kayakers. With a kayak you can even take a trip to one of the two islands nearby.
Visitor reviews highlight that visitors love the amazing views, incredible water, and great colors of the beach. It's a great place to relax and perfect for kids. However, visitors complain about the lack of restrooms, parking being a nightmare, and choppy water at times which brings in Man O’ War.
