I want to see the ocean, paradise.
Answer
Sunset Beach is one of the longest sand beaches in Oahu, running two miles in length and 200-300 feet wide. In the summer when the ocean is calm, this beach has crystal clear water and beautiful white sand. The area is great for swimming, snorkeling, and body boarding/body surfing. During the winter months, this beach is one of the best in the world for surfing.
With waves often between fifteen and twenty feet, Sunset is perfect for yearly international surfing competitions. It is the home of the Triple Crown of Surfing, one of the premier events on the professional surfing tour, and is the preferred site for many other surfing contests. Surfers the world over consider Sunsetâs waves to be among the most dangerous and challenging they have ever ridden.
Newcomers to this beach should be careful of the Sunset Rip, a notorious riptide current off shore. It runs off the inshore reef about midway between Val's Reef and "Kammie Land."
The nostalgic U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse sits atop Makapu`u Point, a towering 600 foot sea cliff that overlooks Makapu`u Beach and Sea Life Park, O`ahuâs world famous marine attraction and educational facility. The beach sits on a slope in between the rugged cliffs and jagged lava rocks. This is an excellent beach, some call it a "paradise," for body surfing and body boarding. Still, be sure to ask lifeguards about conditions as the big surf and its resultant fierce shore break and undertow can be very dangerous.
Poipu is really a series of three white crescents, which hug some of the most awesome turquoise water on Kauaiâs south coast. To give you an idea of how big it is, it starts at the Sheraton Kauai Resort and goes to the Poipu Beach Park.
Excellent for swimming, snorkeling and yes, even surfing â you can find waves in a couple of different places along the beach. Families find it great since the smaller kids can wade in the middle of the crescents, while the bigger kids can check out the surf near the rocks.
At Poipu Beach Park thereâs a lifeguard on duty. The park offers showers, restrooms, picnic tables and shade. Stay the whole day if you like!
And if you donât like the activities, youâll be enamored by the palm fronds swaying in the wind while you lay out or catch up on your latest novel as you hear the gentle surf come to shore as its done for thousands of years.
Which beach do locals vote as best? Hands down it would have to be Lanikai off Mokulua Drive on Oahu. The beach is over a mile long and, yes, bring the camera, this is the most spectacular beach for photographs on the island.
Postcard perfect, the water is amazingly crystal clear. Couple that with the swaying coconut palms and you have the makings of a photo op you wonât soon forget.
Okay, so why is Lanikai Beach so very cool?
Itâs sheltered by a wide, protective offshore reef, the kind you see in those pictures of Fiji. So the shoreline is a natural swimmers paradise. You will find kayaking and outrigger canoeing (gotta try it!), sailing and surfing all within view of this gem in the Pacific.
Or, do like the locals and just come down here for a relaxing day at the beach - tan, read, enjoy the break. This is a gem and much recommended.
And did we mention windsurfing?
Because of the reef, wind- surfing conditions are almost always perfect. You can try your skill by renting a board or taking lessons from the local shops, or grab that camera again for some memories to take back to the mainland.
Lanikai Beach certainly is âheavenly seaâ â translated from Hawaiian.
