Looking for that powdery white sand beach? Lanikai is where it's at. Take the drive to the always-lush windward side, and you'll be treated to half a mile of beautiful white sand beach. The generally calm water makes it a great place for water activities like stand up paddling or kayaking. Be aware, though, that there aren't any public facilities like bathrooms or showers here. And always remember...keep the beaches beautiful by packing out what you packed in.
