Lanikai Beach

1 of 3

Lanikai Beach is one of the gorgeous beaches in the world. "Lani Kai" means "Heavenly Ocean" in Hawaiian. It's an apt name for such a lovely location.

Lanikai Beach is a sandy palm-fringed beach lapped by the turquoise tropical waves of the Pacific. This hidden pearl is located on Oahu's windward shore, about 30 minutes from Honolulu. If you get up extra early, you'll see a beautiful sunrise.
