Kailua town and Lanikai Beach used to be “Hawaii’s best-kept secret” — but now, the cat’s out of the bag!
This charming little seaside town is exactly what people dream Hawaii would be — peaceful, friendly, and full of golden sunshine.

Local shops, cozy restaurants, and the classic beach-town vibe make it truly special — but the real stars are the breath taking beaches.
Lanikai Beach is famous for its calm turquoise water and stunning views of the twin islets called “the Mokes,” while nearby Kailua Beach is just as beautiful.

Wherever you choose to spend your day, don’t miss hiking up to the top of the Lanikai Pillbox Trail for a panoramic view — it’s worth every breath!

Since Kailua has been “discovered,” it has started to change — many locals jokingly call it “Little California” — yet it still keeps its irresistible charm, and you absolutely must see these beaches in person.
