This is my favorite beach in Oahu , you can't beat the view , the water is so blue and calm

Nenzo Cruz

Me and a few friends rented a house here (1218 Mokulua ) . Towards the end of our stay we all wanted to move to Hawaii. Stunningly gorgeous beach and lovely community.

Kyle Pickering

Very beautiful, clean beach with amazing views . There wasn’t parking nearby, but you can park at the larger park and walk along the street to get to the beach .

Adam Stallman

This beach consistently gets voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the nation. With a sandy beach , blue water protected by reefs, and views of several off shore islands , it's easy to see why.

Miguel Rodriguez

Great beach for the little ones. I don't know if it was that specific day we went but the water was blue but lacked the crystal clear. Over all had a great experience and gorgeous views !

Sam S

A lovely beach with great views . There are no facilities here, so be prepared.

Dee Phunk

It just so happens that the nicest beach in Oahu is GREAT for beginners. Crystal clear, calm waters . Park on Kuailima Dr for a direct outlet to the beach & less crowds.

Nicole McKinney

Great beach with calm waters and beautiful view of the Mokes. Excellent hiking trails nearby.

Remo Malarik

Nicest beach in the world, great for snorkeling , but a little tricky with parking . Have to find something on the street in the neighborhood .

Stacy Kaiulani Taylor

The most incredible beach in the world!!! Baby powder sand, light turquoise crystal clear water, great to paddle out to the mokes, serene with friendly people if you do see anyone.

Jack Gashi

A truly stunning, serene beach . Clear water and sand with the texture of flour. One of the most tranquil places I've been.

Heather Rodriguez

Too many people, but the beach is soft sand and the water and reef is spectacular. My favorite beach .

Tomiana DeBellis

Beautiful sandy beach with a view of the Mokes. Be prepared as it can be windy here.

Paige C

This is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to! Calm , peaceful , serene. Great for snorkeling !

Edykat

This is by far one of the most cleaner and nicer beach . 35-40 mins drive from Waikiki

Mishell Paulino

Right next to Kailua Beach , you have to drive and park in a small, upscale neighborhood to get here. The scenery is amazing and the water is absolutely calm .

Christina Adriani

Stunning more secluded beach . While you're here don't forget to grab a fish taco with mango salsa or coconut shrimps from the Lanikai Shrimp Truck http://bit.ly/1eUhORI

Alejandra Medina

Bring your snorkeling gear !! There are a lot of fishes and we saw a turtle as well !!

Abby L.

My favorite beach in the whole wide world... be respectful! This beach is the front lawn/backyard of lots of people!

Creen D.

Great place to watch the sunrise above the Mokes. Go early and bring a light jacket -- it can get quite breezy .

Heidi Hancock

You can kayak out to one of the little islands . A short trip and much fun.

Dale Yams

Bring your own umbrella/shade/tent plenty of lotion. Very strong winds. But very beautiful place to visit! Take lots of pics to share with friends, and bring snorkeling gear .

Joshua Walker

Can Be windy. Easy to just wade at the shore or swim out a little. Kayaking in front you may see sea turtles ????

Jesennia King

White sand beaches with light blue water .. just perfect .

Keyana

My favorite beach . White sand and a beautiful view of the Mokuluas . Much less crowded than Kailua Beach and calmer surf than Kalama.

Oliver

Beautiful beach . For snorkeling at least as good as Hanauma Bay whilst cheaper and less crowded . Go there!

Tamas Dober

The sand was so nice, it was amazing. We saw some outrigger canoes , it was fun.

Jole P

Ideal for snorkeling and watching the windsurfers

Tristan Hufalar

Get here early to park around the small neighborhood .

Ivan Erickson Galang

Scenery is very beautiful. Not too crowded . Perfect to relax and just sleep and hangout.

Tara Coomans

The sand here is particularly awesome for sand castle building! Bring your buckets and build your sand dynasty.

Steve Tower (RA)

Hey guys, this is the "Park " and not the beach ... Nice grassy area used mainly by the local canoe clubs and community. Just saying---

Karina Lopes

White sand and blue water. Soooo nice to swim here <3

Carmen

It is really a residential beach and there are very few places where you can park your car

Torzin S

Sand here is a bit harsh compare with other nearby beaches

Michael Wan

Great place on a sunny day. Snorkeling is good but fish are much smaller than other snorkel spots. Extra fine powdery white sand . No facilities so be sure to use the restroom before coming here.

Nikki Atienza

If u get stung by a Portuguese Manowar (however u spell it) rub sand on it ASAP! Or bring vinegar just in case to rub on it too. :)

peteg

Ultra-fine sand gets in EVERYTHING. We used access way #7 which looked like the last one for the main beach .

Carrie Bevis

Fairly crowded , but has a few public restrooms nearby. Hike the pillbox and then chill by the beach .

EM H'van

R E S P E C T that this lovely little beach is in a residential neighborhood and keep it peaceful . :) lovely place

Sara Shedden

Awesome beach for relaxing in the water, there's like no surf at all. Plus there's shade on the beach :) Kinda crowded though :P

Beautiful beach , a little bit small, but so lovely.

Clear blue water and calm seas make this slice of sand a quiet retreat.

Danielle Neufeld

Great beach and SO many cute dogs to look at/wish were mine! Great spot for kayaking out to those little islands !

This is the best beach on Oahu. White sand , turquoise water, and not a lot of people. Beautiful!
