"Lanikai Beach on Oahu is admired for its incredibly clear, turquoise waters and fine, powdery sand. The most iconic feature is the view of the Mokulua Islands, two islets offshore. Visitors love to relax under the towering palm trees and enjoy stunning views of the horizon. Despite its popularity, Lanikai Beach maintains a serene environment that feels private.
