Lanikai Beach is often ranked among the best beaches in the world, on the east “Windward” side of Oahu, Hawaii. A reef protects the beach and keeps the aqua water calm for swimming. The water is the perfect warm temperature. To me, this beach has a magical quality, with beautiful golden sunrise, soft powdery clean white sand, and two islands “Na Mokulua” in the ocean ahead.   I love walking down the small beach access alleyways between houses, each leading to a different view of the beach.
