If you're staying in Waikiki, take the bus or hire a car and come check out Lanikai beach. Totally worth the drive. Unlike Waikiki which is a man made beach, Lanikai is amazing, great for beginner surfing, stand up paddle boarding.

Kailua beach (lanikai beach) is on the other side of the island and away from uber touristic Waikiki. I went there during all my visits to Oahu. I also did the pillbox trail that looks right out over it. Beautiful beach with restroom and shower facilities that are well maintained.

Lanikai beach offers no public facilities such as restrooms, showers or water fountains. It also does not have any handicap parking or ramps. If you are in need of such facilities Kailua Beach Park is a wiser choice. The best part of Lanikai beach is before Onekea Dr.

Lanikai beach has no parking area, however, you can find a spot along the road and walk in Sandy alleys between some of the homes. The beach was perfect for children. Clear and calm.

Lanikai Beach, meaning heavenly sea, is a hidden paradise among Hawaiian Beaches, noted for the softest white sand and aqua blue sea. The water is calm year round and is one of the few beaches on Oahu with no shore break waves.
