visited Lanikai beach exactly one week ago while on first Hawaii vacation....now I am back in reality, sitting at work at my desk in cold Canada lol. Anyways, I loved this beach and can't wait to go back someday. Thanks for sharing the video
Aloha!~ mariner zapata, I am really happy that it helps you. I will do my best to make a better video. I also have videos relating to free parking in Waikiki, I hope you like it. th-cam.com/video/F-FGHBgIylw/w-d-xo.html Mahalo for watching!!
I have watched all your videos. I'll be visiting Hawaii next week and I'll be driving around. I enjoy your videos and the little tips and diagrams you add. Thank you for ride.
Nice video John. I’ve driven Lanikai loop hundreds of times through the years. I used to work at Bluestone, right at the beginning of the pillbox trailhead so I was in Lanikai every day. I noticed the beach access in the opening shot of the video. The one with the sandbags in the front of that beach house there. I think that’s #9 but me and my girlfriend used to just call it “Sandbag beach”. We used to go fishing on that beach and I remember when those sandbags weren’t there. Sea level rise has taken the beach width away and was eroding the beach all the way up to the yards. No beach at all on the left side anymore. Hence the sandbags. But mahalo for bringing back memories of one of the nicest beaches on Oahu. Aloha 🤙🏼
Hawaii John, I’ll watch for it braddah. That place was cool even though I never caught any fish there. (I knew I wouldn’t catch, that place sucks for fishing) It was more about doing something while we sat on the beach. Aloha braddah, thanks for the cool videos. I like the stops and arrows pointing to the beach accesses. Very cool.
Suggest Lanipo dr and Aalapapa dr...straight walk down to the beach.Another place I lived before tourism picked up.Poopoo Pl and Aalapa dr!Used to walk the loop in the morning for exercise!Back in the early 1980’s you could have bought a house there for 115 thousand dollars!Someone literally was doing that...young and dumb...my friends and I couldn’t figure out why someone would pick every house...including the one I lived in up for that!I suggest going very early and walking the loop and then goin to the beach before the mob shows up!Beautiful!The beachside houses used to be rented out to movie stars...Elvis Presley,Don Ho owned a House!Never more than 10 people on the whole stretch.People would swim or go out to the island by surfboard!Great video!There is a road up to Makapuu ridge overlooking Sea Life Park.You’ll have to find a hanglider pilot to open the gate...but the most beautiful sight!
Sadly we can't park there anymore since 2024. It's illegal, you can see no parking sign now. Please update where is the best parking spot!! Appreciate it ☺️
🌴 Aloha!~ Kristine Valera 🌈 Yes, there is a guide sign at each access. Here's another video, the street near the access is also marked so it's easy to find. th-cam.com/video/XCkFNtNYZLM/w-d-xo.html Mahalo for watching!! ^^ 🤙
We went there Saturday July 3rd and it was super crowded. The parking spaces on the street you see here all had no parking signs due to some kind of construction.
🌴 Aloha!~ Bev Vi 🌈 The best time to enjoy the beach is around noon, but it can be really difficult to find a parking spot during that time. So, you have to go early in the morning. Mahalo for watching!! ^^ 🤙
🌴 Aloha!~ Bill Dodge, Parking instructions commented well at the bottom of this video. Here's a better video taken more recently. Please watch. Hope you like it. th-cam.com/video/XCkFNtNYZLM/w-d-xo.html Mahalo for watching!! ^^ 🌈🤙
Excellent video! It may be asking too much but it would be nice if you point out which are the public side parking too. Residents might not like it but lot more people will appreciate it.
🌴 Aloha!~ shellvahe K 🌈 There are several videos of the Lanikai Beach area driving on my channel. Watch them and you'll get a detailed explanation of parking. 😄😃 th-cam.com/video/XCkFNtNYZLM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xY5On99Pg3o/w-d-xo.html Mahalo for watching!! ^^ 🤙
Aloha!~ Brook Shane De veyra, The word Access means the way to the beach. Access to the beach is only available by the public access walkways. There is no public parking lot, lifeguard, or amenities, but the nearby Kailua Beach Park has a bathroom, picnic tables, and outdoor shower facilities. The pedestrian access to Lanikai Beach can be found between the residential homes. Mahalo for watching!! ^^

$115000 in the 80s was a lot for then😊
