The peaceful Makapu'u tide pools in Oahu! It's quite the trek down the rocky mountainside but it's so worth it #hawaii #blue
Sunrise hike in o’ahu! #lifeatexpedia #expedia #sunrise #hikes
This turned out the be a great beach...lots of grass, trees for shade, a view of Chinaman's Hat & the mountains.  This is a great spot to paddle out to Chinaman's Hat.

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 may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach.

Lanikai
Very beautiful beach in Hawaii, the island of Oahu🌴

Waimanalo Beach

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

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.

Enchanted Lake
This is an ube ice cream cookie sandwich, and yes, that purple is completely natural in color. Ube originated in the Philippines and is a form of purple sweet potato. Chadlou's uses Dave's Ice Cream (a local company based in Waimanalo with several locations over the island of O'ahu). You can select whichever type of cookie you'd like from what they have available
