Lanikai Beach is located in Lanikai,
a neighborhood within Kailua, on the windward coast of Oahu, Hawaii. This small
0.5 mile beach has been constantly ranked among the best beaches in the
world. Adjacent to Lanikai Beach is a primarily upper-class residential
area, because of this it is only accessible through public beach access paths.
Although the beach itself is public property, it is not state land and is not a
county beach park like many beaches in Hawaii. There is no public parking lot
and the area lacks facilities like restrooms, showers or lifeguards.
During the weekdays the beach is
relatively empty, but on weekends during peak tourist season it can become
extremely crowded. Lanikai is a popular spot for photo shoots as renowned
models and photographers frequent the place on nice days. Due to its position
on the east side of the island, Lanikai is recognized as being great place to
watch the moonrise over the Mokuluas, especially during the full moon.
