During Covid last year, hardly anyone was at Lanikai, the water was clear, sun was out, and a bunch of sea turtles came to shore. I knew this was something I might never experience here again. Lanikai Beach is my favorite. I can't argue that Makua is right up there. This list is accurate!🤙
So as a tourist I think Waikiki is pretty good, and has many amenities close by. I did visit Lanikai, I liked it, took Uber to it and a city bus back (takes a while but only $3).
Hi there we were in Oahu a few days ago and checked out your video looking for a really nice beach off the beaten path. We stopped by Kailua Beach and it was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for this informative video.
My congratulations for your video, your explanation and editing of the video were sensational. Perfect! I got all the information about the beaches I loved 🥰 Thank you!!!
Just 2 FYI's to this video...1) Most times when pronouncing Hawaiian place names, W is often pronounced as W-Waikiki, Waiahole, Waimea...Or as V--Hawi, Kawela, Panaewa...2) When on E side of Oahu, Mokes can refer to Mokulua(Two Islands). On the N Shore, Mokes can refer to Mokuleia, over the mountain from Makua beach....Keep those videos coming!
Kawela Bay .. there once were beach homes all along the beach. Family summer beach house. The banyan tree was the marker spot to get to the home, turn left.
Waimanalo Bay - East side of Oahu with lots of trees Ko’olina Lagoon - West Side of Island good for snorkelling and seeing sunsets. Public parking at lagoon 4 Kawela Bay - North Oahu with lots of coconut and banyan trees. Secluded beach and very private Waimea Bay - North Shore. Parking is limited. You can see sea turtles. 5 min from turtle beach with lots of food trucks. Rock climbing, rock jumping and underwater tunnels Hanama Bay - East side. Best for snorkelling. Very crowded. Shallow water. Beautiful beach Kailua Beach - East side. Turquoise water. Decent parking Ala Moana - Near Honolulu. Calm waters. Shallow water Kaiona Beach - East side. Very local. Blue water. Lots of reefs and good for snorkelling. Has a fish pond for swimming Lanikai Beach - turquoise water, soft sand, best for sunrise. Kayaking is great here. Must go. Parking is bad. Park at Kalua and walk to Lanikai Makua Beach - West Side. MUST GO. Reasonably uncrowded. No life guards. Easy parking
Excellent video again! Your #1 beach Makua is EXACTLY what I would want to find on Oahu - undeveloped & uncrowded places to escape the crowds & noise. Are there still other untouched beaches on Oahu, or more on the smaller islands? How long would it take to drive from Honolulu to Makua Beach? And how many hours would it take to drive the entire Oahu perimeter doing a 'beach tour'? Thanks & keep up the great vidz!
Makua Beach is awesome. Most of the westside beaches are gems (Yokohama Bay, Mākaha). It takes about 45 minutes to travel to Makua Beach from Honolulu with no traffic. Circling the island to tour beaches takes 3-4 hours. The Westside isn't part of the circle though, so you'd have to drive in and out.
Nice stuff. Brings back lots of memories. Oh to be young and free on the islands. Hope you guys go off island and do some there. Btw, one note. I'm not a fan a recommending folks go to the Makaha side. Haoles don't always do so well there. Just an observation. Oh, and go to Malaekehana campground. 🙂
We will have to check out the Malaekehana campground! We just visited Goat Island and passed by it. Many people have recommended it to us, so it has to be amazing!
Thanks for watching! We think the safest option might be Hanauma Bay, as their main attraction is for snorkeling and there are lifeguards around :) Hope that helps!
Hello! I’m visiting Hawaii next week, Oahu to be exact. Are there any hotel resorts available to non register guest, that you might know of and we might be able to go to? Thank you.
Most of the accommodations are in the Waikiki area, so it may be better to stay there and travel to places you want to visit each day. For a secluded option though, Turtle Bay on North Shore is far away from the crowds.
When you guys go to the beaches, do you take your phones with you in a waterproof pouch or do you leave it on the beach? What is safest in your opinion? ☺️
We usually leave our stuff in a bag on the beach. That’s how we’ve always done it, not sure if that’s the best option... but we never had anything stolen from us!
@@DennyandNikki thanks so much for the feedback! We aren’t renting a car and will be in Waikiki so we will be walking a lot! I’m trying to figure out what’s best. Mahalo for your amazing videos!
@@leahi5413 thanks! I actually just got back on Sunday! At ala Moana I felt pretty safe leaving my stuff because I could see it from the water and ended up doing the same for a lot of beaches.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Lanikai is definitely a gem on this island. If we can’t park our car there, you’ll find us chilling at Makua beach 🤙
Thank you for this list of non tourist beaches it was soooo helpful 👍
Glad to hear that :)
Was just to Oahu in early June and visiting many of the beaches on this list. Waimelano and Lanakai are the two best by far!
So as a tourist I think Waikiki is pretty good, and has many amenities close by. I did visit Lanikai, I liked it, took Uber to it and a city bus back (takes a while but only $3).
Dopeness 🤙❤ thank you so much my family moving there in week 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! Wishing you a smooth move to the islands!
It's one of my biggest dreams traveling to Oahu. Such a peaceful place! Must be something else to actually live there.
Greetings from Germany!
Living on Oahu is a dream! 😁
Germany is nice too.

Ala Moana - Near Honolulu. Calm waters. Shallow water
Kaiona Beach - East side. Very local. Blue water. Lots of reefs and good for snorkelling. Has a fish pond for swimming
Lanikai Beach - turquoise water, soft sand, best for sunrise. Kayaking is great here. Must go. Parking is bad. Park at Kalua and walk to Lanikai

@@DennyandNikki Great place to weekend camp.
Thank you for the video! Btw the china wall link actually point to hanauma bay vlog
Oops! We will fix that right away. Thanks for mentioning this :)

I’d have to say that Electric Beach is an “honorable mention”…
Definitely, especially for snorkeling and diving
i love go there tell others about JESUS , this is so so beatiful only GOD make this
Lanikai All Day ❤️
That was nice,
veery good!
#1 ala wai

Thanks for sharing. Of all these beautiful beaches, which ones are safe for snorkling?
Thanks for watching! We think the safest option might be Hanauma Bay, as their main attraction is for snorkeling and there are lifeguards around :) Hope that helps!
Go surfing or body surfing at Kaena point.
Hello! I’m visiting Hawaii next week, Oahu to be exact. Are there any hotel resorts available to non register guest, that you might know of and we might be able to go to? Thank you.
Hello! 😄 Do you have a recommendation for where to find sea glass on Oahu? And is it legal to take home? I keep reading mixed answers for this online!
Sorry, we haven't collected any sea glass. Generally, taking anything from the beaches, even shells, is frowned upon but I don't know if it's illegal.
@@DennyandNikki Thank you for taking the time to reply! ☺️
@@brittneydee6753 Of course! Enjoy the islands :)
for a first timer in Oahu, where should we stay? we are looking for something not too crowded? east side, west side, etc?
Most of the accommodations are in the Waikiki area, so it may be better to stay there and travel to places you want to visit each day. For a secluded option though, Turtle Bay on North Shore is far away from the crowds.

@@Angelicalalalovesyou Enjoy yourself but take care of your stuff. Lived there for 6 years.
@@leahi5413 thanks! I actually just got back on Sunday! At ala Moana I felt pretty safe leaving my stuff because I could see it from the water and ended up doing the same for a lot of beaches.
@@Angelicalalalovesyou Great. I trust it was all you expected it to be. And you got a great tan.
Do you know any beach with BBQ grills that's free for public use?!
Any reccs for luau in Oahu?
Sorry, no recommendations. Most were shut down or limited during our time there.
Do you need to rent a car? Or is there a Bus we can ride? We are staying in wikiki.
We always recommend renting a car to visit some of the island. The bus system takes a very long time and I don't think it runs to Makua Beach.
JESUS SAVES TURN OR BURN REPENT OR PERISH
Is this the girl that does the safety drill on airplanes ?
This tourist doesn't know the best beaches in hawaii? She's a tourist
I'm definitely going to try ala Moana after seeing this!
