Where to stay in Windward Coast

With a spectacular view of Lanikai Beach below, Lanikai Pillboxes Hike is one of my favorite places on Oahu, HI. In the distance you can see The Mokes islands. The hike is pretty short, maybe a half hour to hour up to the top where there are a few pillboxes like the one in this photo. #lifeatexpedia

Lanikai

While Lanikai isn't home to many top sights, Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach are some notable places to visit nearby.

Lanikai

Waimanalo Beach

While visiting Waimanalo Beach, you might make a stop by sights like Kaiona Beach Park and Waimanalo Beach.

Kalama Beach at night.

Kialua is a small town on the east coast of Oahu, well away from the crowds of Honolulu. We rented a house a few blocks from the beach and the kids played there every day.

The unit was clean, well-appointed and view was great (looking toward the mountains). Check-in went smoothly, but was a little complicated. Gerard, the coordinator, was terrific and went out of his way to make sure everything went well.
