Honolulu County, HI

Hawaii

One of the many reasons why Hawaii is my favorite place on Earth. The entrance to this hike was a bit hard to find, but the view was so worth it! (photo taken overlooking Kahana Bay in Oahu) #hawaii #oahu #hiking #blue

Lanikai, which in Hawaiian means heavenly sea, is constantly voted one of the best beaches on the islands, and it's easy to see why. From the pristine blue green water to the perfect golden sand, it's a great spot to soak up some Hawaiian sunshine. The access points to the beach run along a very narrow road in a residential area, so it might take awhile to find parking. Kayakers can be seen heading out to Nā Mokulua, the two small islands less than a mile from the shore. #beach #hawaii #oahu #lanikai #colorful #blue #bestof5
