It is quite small but it have toilet facilities. The Kailua Beach Boat Ramp car park is the closest. I would suggest doing like we did and parking at Kailua Beach Park and then WALK the rest of the way to Lanikai…yes that will mean dragging all of your beach gear there! It is around a 2 mile (40 minute) walk though. The water is bright blue, crystal clear (good for snorkelling) and the sand is as soft as powder! However, it is a right pain to get to! It’s in a rather posh residential area of Kailua and finding a spot to park is a nightmare. Lanikai Beach has been named one of the best beaches in the USA and even in the world! It’s not hard to see why. It had always been my Mum’s dream to see ‘white sand and blue sea’ and I thought she was going to cry the first time she saw Kailua Beach! My sister hates swimming but even she couldn’t resist going in the water here, so that must say something!!! I could quite easily live in the town of Kailua, they even decorate their mailboxes! 2. You can even buy a pass for $3 that lets you paddle out and ‘land’ on Popoi’a Island and Moku Nui, if you feel like going on a little adventure!

There was more than enough space to paddle it around and not have to worry about hitting any swimmers or people getting in the way. ![]() There’s a large parking area, toilets, plenty of beach space, shady trees and there was even a rope swing when I was there! Kailua was my base in Oahu so it was in walking distance from my accommodation (there aren’t many hotels on this side of the Island, I stayed in an Airbnb type rental). Out of all the beaches in this post, Kailua is the most ‘visitor friendly’. □Facilities: Toilets & showers, shops with food nearby, rentals, picnic benches It was crazy busy and I found a lot of the tourists rude, but just a 30 minute drive from the airport, on the other side of the mountains, paradise can be found! Top Oahu Beaches Ironically enough, I say that Oahu is one of my favourite places in the world, yet I really wasn’t a fan of Waikiki. I mainly stayed on the Windward side of the Island. If you book a trip to Hawaii, there’s a high chance that you’ve obviously got beaches on your mind and there are certainly plenty to choose from! My week in Oahu felt a bit like a beach crawl, jumping in for a swim at every given opportunity! In this post, I share with you 5 of the best beaches in Oahu and give you some tips for visiting!
