Lanikai Beach is approximately 1 mile long 2. there are 10 beach access points 3. the original name was Kaʻohao meaning tying together or joining together 4.the make was changed thinking it meant heavenly sea, but in Hawaiian, it would need to be Kailani to actually mean that 5. Due to sea walls and other causes, there is severe erosion at the north and south ends of the beach that have caused it to be nearly half the size it originally was
Thank you for the Informational video! Five of the geological fact I learned about Lanikai beach is: 1. Lanikai Beach is located on the east side of Oahu, where the sun and moon rise, resulting in beautiful photos. 2. There are 10 beach access from Mokulua drive. 3. Has a fringing reef (like a barrier reef but shorter distance from shore) that is a mile out. 4. The beach itself is about a mile long. 5. It is lined by sea walls that are protecting the houses that are on the cost line but it is not helping the erosion of the sand on the beach.
It was interesting to get to know about Lanikai Beach. 1. Lanikai is developed from the Ko’olau Volcano and from the offshore reef 2. Lanikai is the most photographed and famous for sun rises. 3. It is also famous for water sports. 4. Lanikau was actually called Ka'ahao, which means tying together or joining together. 5.

1. I've always wanted to kayak out to the island because I see a lot of tourists do it and it seems like a lot of fun. 2. I have been to Lanikai beach before and it is one of my favorites for fishing. 3. There is Oama (small goat fish) that come seasonally and are great bait for catching bigger fish like Papios. 4. I have noticed the erosion problems first hand. The water is getting closer and closer to the beachfront houses. 5. Lanikai beach has soft sand that feels great to walk on.
I like learning the Hawaiian words like Ka'ohao in meaning tying together or joining together, as well finally learning the meaning of the name lanikai.

The beach has suffered from severe erosion and is half the size that it use to be 3. Lanikai was originally called Ka'ohao which means tying together 4. The water at Lanikai beach is clear because stream run-off does not mix in 5. Lanikai is on the east side of the island.
It was really interesting to learn more about a beach I used to go to as a kid all the time. Here are 5 things I learned: 1) Lanikai beach was formed by the Koʻolau Volcano and natural erosion from the sea. 2) The reef extends nearly a half-mile into the sea. 3) There are two islands at the south end of the beach named Moku Nui and Moku Iki 4) Lanikai beach's size has shrunken due to erosion and rising sea levels. 5) The original name of Lanikai was Kaʻohao (tying/joining together).
Thank you for this informative video! 1. Lanikai beach was originally named Ka'ohau, meaning "to be tied together." 2. Lanikai's reef extends nearly half a mile out into sea. 3. It is the most photographed beach on the island. 4. Lanikai is half its original size due to the beach suffering from erosion. 5. Located on the east side of Oahu.
I love Lanikai beach! Some things I learned were 1) Lanikai beach is a mile long, but thats half of what it was before. 2) Lanikai has a reef thats half a mile out to see which makes the waves smaller for calmer waters. 3)Lanikai has ten different beach access points. 4)Lanikai is famous for its sunrises and sunsets. 5)Lanikai is the best swimming islands, and is surrounded by two islands one of which landed permissible.
Wonderful video! 5 things I learned 1. The beach is approximately 1 mile long 2. Moku nui and Moku iki are both a part of Hawaii's birds sanctuary 3. Sea walls seem to have the opposite effect of whats intended to do. 4. Lanikai is located on the east side of Oahu and is one of the most photographed 5. The original name was Ka'ohao meaning joining together.
Kawa Huang (Geology 103, Fall 2024) Thank you for this educational video. Here are the things I learned listed below. 1. Lanikai Beach used to be called Kaʻōhao which means tying or joining together. 2. The slope of the ocean floor to overhead depths increases the amount of trade winds. 3. One of the islands that is off the coast, Moku Nui contains white sand. 4. The other island that is the twin of Moku Nui is called Moku Iki is more of a pebbly coast. 5. The North and the South side of the beach has lost a lot of its white sand due to erosion which causes it to be half the size it was.
Sophia Mislang (ERTH 103, Fall 2024) Thank you for the simple yet educational video! The five things I learned: 1. The original name of Lanikai is called "Ka'ohao" which means joining together. 2. There are 10 beach access entrances on Mokulua drive that leads to Lanikai beach. 3. Lanikai's wide reef extends almost half a mile into the sea, acting like a barrier that reduces the strength of the waves. 4. It is called one of the best swimming beach in Hawai'i for its clear water and stream runoff. 5. You can see "The Twin Islands" in the south end of Lanikai. The larger island is called Moku Nui which consist of white sand, and the smaller island is Moku Iki which has a pebble beach.
I have lived on the island for 2 years and Lanikai Beach is one of the best beaches on Oahu. The reef extends a 1/2 mile out from the beach. The beach itself is nearly a mile wide.
I enjoyed watching this video, it was very informative and enlightening. We learned how this beach can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways, including some information on the history of it. 1. Lanikai was originally called Ka’ohao, meaning ‘tying together’ or ‘joining together’ in Hawaiian. 2. In 1925, a Honolulu businessman with the name of Charles R. Frazier bought 111 acres of beachfront property then bought an additional 280 acres from Maunawili, developing the Lanikai community as it is today. 3. Lanikai Beach's reef is almost half a mile out to sea functioning as a breakwater, diffusing most of the wave energy before it reaches the beach. 4. There are 2 islands at the south end of the beach (mooks), the large island is called Mokonui and has white sand, the smaller one is mokoiki and has a pebble beach. 5. Without sand nourishment to replenish the beach, it will continue to face damage and gradually worsen its state.
wow awesome video. 1. The twin islands off the shore of the beach is a bird sanctuary. 2.It is greatly known for its sun and moon rises. 3. The reef is almost half a mile long from the shore. 4. It is a surf free beach that is 1 mile long. 5. Due to Erosion it has decreased rapidly.
Jeralyn Francisco (ERTH 103, fall 2024) GREAT VIDEO !! 5 things I learned: 1. Lanikai is one of Hawaii’s most beautiful beaches located on the east side of Oahu 2. Lanikai beach stretches a mile in length 3. Two islands called Mokulua Islands one was called moku nui and the other moku iki 4. Ocean water is Clear 5. Sea walls are hurting the beaches due to erosion
Mahalo for the amazing video. 1, Lanikai beach is located on the east side of Oahu. 2, People called Ka'ohao and it meant "tying together" or "joining together. 3, Lanikai has a wide fringing reef that functions like a breakwater and dispels the wave energy making the beach flat. 4, Lanikai beach is the most popular beach in Hawaii for photography. 5, Lanikai beach was developed from the Koala Shield volcano, the offshore reef, and two smaller islands called Moku Nui and Moku Iki Aloha
Lanikai beach is my most favorite beach. I went with my friend, and I recommended this beach to my friends in my country. I didn't know about this beach deeply, so I' happy to know about it. 1, The hawaiian name of this land is Ka'ohao, which means "tying together" and joining together". 2. Charles R Frazier, who created the lanikai community, cahnged the original name for the land from Kao'hao to Lanikai. 3, The Lanikai's fringing reef extends almost half a mile from the sea. 4, The ocean bottom slopes gently along the entire beach to overhead depths. 5, The straight white fine sand beach of Lanikai is about one mile long.
This was such a pleasant and educational video! 1. Lanikai's wide fringing reef extends about 1/2 a mile out to sea, acting as a breakwater, diffusing most of the wave energy before it reaches the beach. 2. Lanikai's ocean bottom slopes to overhead depths along the entire beach - a contour that normally would encourage small trade winds and cause surf, but Lanikai beach is usually surf-free. 3. Lanikai beach is generally straight, 1 mile long, and narrows at the ends and widens in the middle. 4. Moku Nui is the larger island that consists of white sand, and the smaller island is Moku Iki and has a pebble beach. 5. Human intrusion on nautral beaches like the building of sea walls has been found to be ineffective among beach loss because the beach is unable to create sand.
Awesome presentation and quite intimidating as an example for other students to do. Very informative with great coverage of history, geology, and present-day usage. 1. Man-maid shoreline structures like seawalls designed to preserve oceanfront land and buildings (real estate) adversely affect the natural sand replenishment process, reducing its accumulation along the shoreline. 2. Sand loss from the north and south ends of the beach will only get worse as sea levels rise from global warming. 3. The reduction of shoreline sand allows the ocean to move inland and eat away at the land and structures built to preserve it (seawalls), accelerating shoreline loss due to erosion. 4. Lanikai’s reef extends far from shore, causing waves to release much of their energy before reaching shore, making the water calm and shallow, gently sloping from the shore to the reef. 5. The ocean is also clear, seemingly unaffected by silt and particulates from freshwater streams.
Makayla Furuto (ERTH-103, Fall 2024) I really enjoyed this video. Thank you ! 5 things I learned: 1. Lanikai is located on the east side of oahu. It is famous for its sunrises and moonrises. 2. the original name for lanikai was actually called ka’ohao which means tying together or joining together. Charles R Fraiser named this beach Lanikai where he thought it meant "heavenly sea" but written in hawaiian it actually means "sea heaven". 3. This beach is approximately 1 mile long, it narrows at both ends and widens in the middle. The water is clear and not clouded by stream runoff. 4. There are two islands at the south end of the beach known s the mokulua islands or for short the twin islands. The large island is called moku nui which consist of white sand and the small island is called moku iki that has a pebble beach. 5. The beach lost a lot of its precious white fine sand and suffered severe erosion problems. The problem will get significantly worse as global warming causes sea levels to rise Some other causes to erosion are storms and human actions such as the construction of sea walls, jetties and the judging of the stream.
1. This presentation very well put together. Maka‘i loa! 2. I appreciate the mana’o behind the original place name. 3. After watching this video, I realized how seawalls negatively impact the shore. 4. I also noticed that Kahala beach homes influence the same type of damage along the shore. 5. Now I know the two names of the iconic smaller islands.
This was a very informative video, and it is fascinating to learn more about Lanikai beach, one of my favorite and most beautiful beaches.. 1. The Hawaiian name for Lanikai Beach is Ko'ohao 2. The Lanikai community was created as a real estate venture 3. Lanikai is a mistranslation which means "sea heaven" 4. Lanikai's reef acts a break that keeps waters calm by the shore. 5. The Mokolua Islands are bird sanctuaries are native to many endangered Hawaiian birds.
GG103 and GG101L SU21 1. Lanikai is located on the east side of Oahu. 2. Lanikai in Hawaiian means "sea heaven". 3. Lanikai beach is one of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches and it is also the most photographed. 4. Lanikai is famous for it's sunrises and moon rises. 5.

Lanikai Beach is a very beautiful place, definitely worth checking out. 1. Lanikai's reef stretches out for almost half a mile and defuses the waves before it reaches the beach. 2. The beach is a mile long with fine white sand 3. There are two islands at the end of the beach. One is named Moku Nui and the other is named Moku Iki. 4. The white sand on the beach is eroding and geologists are saying that the problem will only get worse. 5. The seawalls are speeding up the rate of erosion. They are disrupting the natural flow and causing beach loss.
Beautiful Video! I learned: 1. The original name of the Lanikai land was Ka'ohao which means "tying together" or "joining together" 2. Charles R. Frazier bought Ka'ohao and turned the land into the Lanikai subdivision. 3. Lanikai means sea heaven. 4. Lanikai is about one mile long. 5. The mokes are both bird sanctuaries.
Such pretty views of the beautiful beach! What I learned: 1. Lanikai Beach can be found within the Eastside of O'ahu 2. The beach was also known as "Ka'oaho", translates to "tying together" 3. Lanikai means heavenly sea 4. This beach is known for its sunrises and sunsets 5. Lanikai is around 1 mile long Amazing video, can't wait to see more!
Very interesting presentation 1.The original Hawaiian name for the Lanikai Beach is Ka’ohao meaning tying together, or joining together. 2.Lanikai Beach is roughly 311 acres of beachfront property 3.Reef that extends half a mile out to sea that functions as a breakwater diffusing wave energy as it travels to shore 4.The beach is straight white sand that is a mile long. 5.Two island at the south end of the beach the large island is called Moku Nui the small island is called Moku Iki, both are part of Hawaiis sear bird sanctuary
Corinne McCreery (ERTH 103, Fall 2024) Aloha, Thank you for this video, it was very informative. I have always loved Lanikai Beach, and enjoy kayaking out to the Mokes. Despite having spent a lot of time in Kailua and Lanikai, I learned several things that I did not know before! 1. I learned that Lanikai's original name was Ka'ohao, meaning "tying together" or "joining together." 2. I did not know that there were 10 access entrances! I have never driven that far down Mokulua Drive, nor have I ever counted them. 3. Learning the fact that the reef is half a mile out at this beach was interesting. It has always seemed to extend further than at some other beaches, creating a calmer, flat affect whenever I visit Lanikai, allowing for optimal swim/float and snorkel conditions. Now, I know the physical reason behind this. 4. Lanikai Beach is about half the size it once was, due to climate change and erosion. :( 5. Seawalls disrupt the natural process and are proven to be ineffective against erosion - sad that we continue to build them, as "humanity's" interests are more concerned with $$$ and property value over preserving nature.
Wow, such an informative video. She is definitely a level 10 explorer 1. Overall, seawalls don't help fight erosion. 2. There are 10 public beach access points. 3. Lanikai beach has become considerably more popular with tourist in the last 4-5 years. 4. Erosion will continue to eliminate parts of the beach 5. Even though there is little break/ waves it is important to remember that safety comes first!
This was a very informative video, here is what I learned: 1. The Lanikai Beach is on the east side of Oahu 2. It was developed from the Koolau Shield Volcano, from the offshore reef and the two smaller islands 3. The traditional Hawaiian name of Lanikai beach is Ka’ohao, which means joining together. 4. Lanikai beach has a wide fringing reef that stretches out for half a mile into the sea. 5. The two islands that are at the end of the beach are known as “The Twin Islands.
Philip (ERTH 103, Summer 2024) Thank you for making this video. 5 things I learn from this is 1. The two islands off the shore of lanikai are the Mokulu'a islands. They are called, Moku'iki which consist of pebble and Moku'nui which consist of white sand. 2. It is located in Kailua Bay, Northeast Oahu. 3. The original name is called Ka’ohao. 4. Which means tying together or joining together 5. Charles R fraizer bought 211 acres of beach front.
Love this beach! Awesome video. ERTH 103, Summer 2024 1. The original name before Lanikai was Ka'ohao 2. Ka'ohao means tying together or joining together 3. The reefs extends about half a mile out into sea 4. There are two islands on the south end of the beach known as the twin islands. 5. The large island is known as Moku Nui and the small island known as Moku iki.
Hi! This video was lovely to watch, and taught me things I did not know despite living here all my life: 1. Lanikai, or Ko'ohau was developed by the Ko'olau volcano. 2. The reef formations of Lanikai stretch for a half of a mile into the sea, and that is what diffuses the waves before reaching the shore. 3. The sand on the beach stretches the coast for about a mile. 4. The north and south sides of the beach has decreased half of its size, and is seemingly going to worsen in the upcoming decades. 5. Erosion, global warming, sea level rising, sea wall construction, and other human factors contribute in the disturbance of natural sand flow, preventing the replenishment of the beaches.
Here are a few things I learned from this video. 1) The reef breaks down the big waves before it reaches the beach shore. 2) The beach is 1 mile long. 3) No stream runoff allows the water at Lanikai beach to appear more clear. 4) Due to erosion and sea level rise, the beach is half of it's original size. 5) The sea walls at the beach protect the houses but contribute to the erosion and "beach loss".
Thank you for your informational video! Here are my key takeaways: 1. Lanikai beach was developed by the Ko'olau sheild volcano. 2. The original name for the Hawaiian land of Lanikai beach was called Ka'ohao. 3. Lanikai is located on the east side of O'ahu. 4. Lanikai beach is approximately 1 mile long. 5. The water does not have stream runoff so it is not cloudy. 6. The north and south end of Lanikai beach lost its white sand do to erosion problems.
Aloha Professor! I have been to Lanikai several times and it is my favorite beach in Oahu so far! After watching the video I realized Lanikai had all kinds of interesting facts. 1. Lanikai is located in the Windward East side of Oahu 2. Temperature of the waters is generally 75-80 °F (24-26 °C). 3. The Seawalls disturb the natural flow of the beach sand. Also, it has extremely soft powdery clean white sand. 4. Lanikai's waters are very calm and are crystal blue 5. With its location, from Lanika the twin island is visible
Daisuke Uchida GG103 1. Lanikai is located on the Eastside of Oahu. 2. Ka’ohau means Tying together. 3. There are 2 islands at the south end of the beach known as the Mokulua islands. 4. The Large island is called Moku Nui. 5. The small island is called Moku Iki.

(ERTH 103 FALL 2024) Aloha beautiful video! 1. There are wall holding up to protect houses in lanikai but not producing sand 2. Because of pollution we’re losing the beach overtime 3. Lanikai was called ka’ohao 4. Ka’ohao meaning is tying together or joining together
I once did kayak in sand bar with my friends. We drove by Lanikai beach, and I couldn't forget how beautiful that place was! 1. The original name was Ka’ohao, and it stands for together. 2. The Lanikai's wide fringing reef extends almost half a mile out to sea. 3. There are two islands, which are called mokonui and mokoiki, the first one is the bigger island, and it consists of white sand, and the second one is the smaller island that has pebble beach. 4. Lanikai means sea heaven in Hawaiian. 5. Lanikai is on the east side of the island.
Interesting video about Lanikai Beach! 1. Lanikai's reef extends almost half a mile out to sea. 2. There are two islands south end of the beach known as Mokulua Islands. 3. The Mokulua Islands are both apart of the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary. 4. The north and south end of Lanikai beach is affected by erosion. 5. The construction of seawalls protect the homes but obstructs the natural flow of sand causing erosion.
I love to visit Lanikai every two weeks to go up to the pill box and chill on the beach afterwards. So I am thrilled to learn more about such a place. 1, Lanikai was formerly called Ka'ohao, mainly because it means a bond or union. 2, The beach has been eroded by the ocean and is now half the size it used to be. 3, On the south side of the beach are two islands called the Twin Islands, the larger of which, Moko Nui, has a white sand beach, while the smaller, Moko Iki, has a pebble sand beach. The beach is about 1 mile long, narrow at both ends, and has a total of 10 entrances and exits. 5, The seawalls protecting the houses are eroding due to the changing natural movement of the beach.

I visited Lanikai Beach several times before and every experience I had there were quite pleasant. However, its been quite sometime since the last time I went since its pretty far from where I am. This video really gave me a great insight on the history of Lanikai and the geology behind its creation, so I’ll be sure to check off a date so I can visit it. Here are the five things I’ve learned after watching the video: 1. Lanikai Beach is located on the East side of O’ahu island and was formed by the Ko’olau shield volcano, the offshore reef, and the two smaller islands 2. The Original name for the Hawaiian land is Ka’ohao which means “Tying Together” or “Joining Together” 3. Lanikai Beach has a wide fringing reef that extends half a mile out to sea which functions as a break water, diffusing much of the wave energy. This makes the beach usually surf free 4. Lanikai Beach is approx. 1 mi long and narrows at both end, widening in the middle. 5. The two smaller islands out from Lanikai beach are known as Mokulua islands. The larger island is called Moku Nui that consist of white sands. The smaller island is called Moku Ike and has a pebble beach. Both are apart of Hawaii’s seabird sanctuary.
Caitlin S. (ERTH 103, Fall 2024) Fantastic job on this video! 5 things I learned: 1. Lanikai is located in the east side of Oahu 2.Lanikai's waters is not clouded by stream run off 3.The sea levels rising because of global warming puts homes at risk within the next decades 4.Charles R Fraiser named this beach Lanikai beach, he thought it meant heavenly sea but was mistaken, it actually means sea heaven in Hawaiian 5. Seawalls protect homes but disrupt the natural rock cycle as they can't produce sand
Teah Coelho (ERTH 103, Fall 2024) Thank you for such an informative and interesting video! 1) Lanikai is located on the East side of O'ahu. 2) Lanikai Beach was formed by a shield volcano, Ko'olau. 3) The half a mile long reef functions like a break water and diffuses a majority of the wave energy before it hits the beach. 4) Lanikai Beach is about one mile long, narrows at the ends, and widens in the middle. 5) The construction of sea walls and jetties contribute to the erosion of the beach because they disrupt the natural flow of the sand.
My Aunt has a house on Lanikai and we'd spend time there as kids. Back in the days before the internet. Quiet, and no crowds. 1. It was originally called Kaʻohao. 2. The Mokes are a bird sanctuary and you can only set foot on Moku Nui. 3. Due to erosion the beach is half the size that it was when I was young 4. Because of the shape of Lanikai and the Mokes, there is very little wind and it produces no surf. 5. Because there is no stream runoff, the water is very clear and makes for great swimming.
Lanikai is one of my favorite beaches on Oahu!! 1. The original name for Lanikai was Ka’ohao which means tying together or joining together. 2. The beach is around 1 mile long with both ends being a bit narrower. 3. Lanikai beach has fine white sand throughout the whole beach. 4 Lanikai was developed from the Koʻolau volcano shield. 3. There are 10 different beach access entrances on Mokulea Drive that all lead to Lanikai Beach.
Yes the Lanikai beach is a beautiful beach as I was going through the process of looking at the clear waters and nice gentle tides flowing in to the shore. Sand is important for the beach but once the sand is gone or not enough sand is there on the beach in the sandbar, then things can go wrong when the waves become a bigger and stronger as the tides become big with stronger winds. As I was listening to the video of the Lanikai Beach it kind of reminded me of the Waikiki beach, when the Waikiki beach was losing sand from the rising shores from the waves. Then the Waikiki beach had to order thousand pound bags of sand to refill the sandbars.
ERTH 103 1. Lanikai is by far one of my favorite beaches on island. 2. I learned that surprisingly this beach is the most photographed in Oahu. 3. It was purchased by Charles R Frazer in the 1920s. 4. Ka'ohoa is the original name which means " time together" or " joining together ". 5. While watching this video it made me realize that I really miss this beach and I'm going to head there soon.
Dyanna Goldenberg (Erth 103, Fall 2024) I was captivated by this video and its amazing pictures and videos here are some new facts I gathered... - Sea walls may protect the homes and secure privacy for the homeowners but that makes the beach unable to produce sand. -Lanikai in Hawaiian means sea heaven. -The first purchaser of Lanikai was Charles R Frazier in 1926, who bought it as a subdivision and developed the Lanikai Community. -The beach is approximately one mile in length. -There are 2 islands found on the south end of the beach, and they are called the Mokulua islands or nicknamed "Mooks" or "Twin Islands"
Sanoe Faataape (FALL 2024) Beautiful video of Lanikai 1) I learned the names of the 2 islands near Lanikai called the Mokuluas. 2) The beach's waters are calm due to the reef. 3) The water is clear because the mountain runoff doesn't go to that area. 4) Erosion of the beach is due to higher sea levels and climate change. 5) Lanikai's beach is slowly diminishing due to erosion and is half the size it used to be.
Loved this video! I have a lot of memories of going to Lanikai beach early in the morning to watch the sunrise and it was beautiful every time. Here are 5 Geological/Environmental things I learned: 1. The original name of the beach was “Ka’ohao” which translates to “tying together” or “joining together” 1. Lanikai's reef extends around half a mile out to sea which causes most of the waves energy to be diffused before it reaches the shore. 2. Lanikai beach is famous for its sunrises and moonrises. 2. There are two smaller islands off the coast of Lanikai and they are called the Mokulua islands (twin islands). The bigger island is named Mokunui and the smaller one Mokuiki, these islands have become the state seabird sanctuaries. 4. Due to erosion because of rising sea levels Lanikai has lost most of its white sand. This was a result of global warming and geologists predict it will only get worse as time proceeds. Another reason for this is seawalls which disrupt the natural flow of sand.
Richard ERTH 103 1. I discovered that the reef at Lanikai Beach extends half a mile into the ocean, breaking the waves and creating a calm atmosphere. 2. I learned about the two twin islands known as the Mokes: Moku Nui, which features white sand beaches, and the smaller Moku Iki. 3. I found out that both islands are part of Hawaii's seabird sanctuary. 4. The original name of Lanikai Beach was Ka’ohau, which translates to "joining together." 5. The land as we know it today was developed by Charles R. Frasier, who purchased it in 1920.
erth-103-0 1. i always go to lanikai beach during the weekend and it's interesting to know facts about this beach 2. ka'ohao was the original name of lanikai beach 3. in hawaiian, lanikai means "sea heaven" and ka'oahao means "joining together" 4. the mokulua islands are bird sanctuaries 5. lanikai beach is mostly known for their sun and moonrises
Thanks for sharing this video! I learned that: 1.The original name for Lanikai Beach is actually Ka'ohao which means "joining together" 2. Is approximately 1 mile long and narrows at each end and stretches wide in the middle. 3. Is the best swimming beach in the world. 4. The beach is half the size is once was and will only get worse mainly causes by sea walls and jetties.
Very insightful video on Lanikai 1) Original developer was Charles R. Frazier who changed the land from Ka’ohao to Lanikai 2) Lanikai beach is about 1 mile long. It becomes narrow on both ends and widens in the middle. 3) There are two islands at the end of beach known as Moku Nui and Moku Iki. Both are apart of Hawai’i’s sea bird sanctuary. 4) Sea walls are contributing to erosion by disrupting the natural flow of the sand. 5) Known to be the best swimming beach on O’ahu with clear waters.

That the reef around the beach stretches half a mile out to sea.
Samuel Rix (ERTH 103, Fall 2024) Very Informational! - I did not know that Lanikai Beach was not the original name -I learned that the water calmness directly correlates to the offshore coral reefs creating a protective barrier - Lanikai is almost a mile long - Lanikai was formed by the Ko'olau Volcano -Lanikai Beach is world renowned and one of the most beautiful beaches in Oahu
1)Lanikai means "sea heaven" 2)Water not clouded by stream run-off, so very clear 3)Lanikai's reef extends almost a half a mile out to sea, functioning like a breakwater defusing most of the wave energy before it reaches the beach (perfect for swimming) 4)Na Mokulua or “the mokes” are two islands, located at the south end of Lanikai. The biggest island is Moku Nui, and the other is Moku Ike. 5)Na Mokulua is a part of Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary and landing is only permitted on Moku Nui. 6)Lanikai Beach is half the size it once was because of human and storm erosion. 7)The sea walls are not efficient to stopping erosion there because there is no sand replenishment
1) Lanikai was originally called Ka'ohao which means to be tied together 2) It's located on the east side of the island 3) It has a reef that stretches half a mile out 4) It's the most photographed beach on the Island 5) Lanikai beach is about a mile long
A very educational video. 1. I have been to Lanikai beach a few times and it is indeed a very beautiful beach 2. The original name for the beach was something I didn't know until now 3.

Aloha
Lanikai beach is my most favorite beach. I went with my friend, and I recommended this beach to my friends in my country. I didn't know about this beach deeply, so I' happy to know about it.
1, The hawaiian name of this land is Ka'ohao, which means "tying together" and joining together".
2. Charles R Frazier, who created the lanikai community, cahnged the original name for the land from Kao'hao to Lanikai.
3, The Lanikai's fringing reef extends almost half a mile from the sea.
4, The ocean bottom slopes gently along the entire beach to overhead depths.
5, The straight white fine sand beach of Lanikai is about one mile long.
This was such a pleasant and educational video!
1. Lanikai's wide fringing reef extends about 1/2 a mile out to sea, acting as a breakwater, diffusing most of the wave energy before it reaches the beach.
2. Lanikai's ocean bottom slopes to overhead depths along the entire beach - a contour that normally would encourage small trade winds and cause surf, but Lanikai beach is usually surf-free.
3. Lanikai beach is generally straight, 1 mile long, and narrows at the ends and widens in the middle.
4. Moku Nui is the larger island that consists of white sand, and the smaller island is Moku Iki and has a pebble beach.
5. Human intrusion on nautral beaches like the building of sea walls has been found to be ineffective among beach loss because the beach is unable to create sand.
Awesome presentation and quite intimidating as an example for other students to do. Very informative with great coverage of history, geology, and present-day usage.
1. Man-maid shoreline structures like seawalls designed to preserve oceanfront land and buildings (real estate) adversely affect the natural sand replenishment process, reducing its accumulation along the shoreline.
2. Sand loss from the north and south ends of the beach will only get worse as sea levels rise from global warming.
3. The reduction of shoreline sand allows the ocean to move inland and eat away at the land and structures built to preserve it (seawalls), accelerating shoreline loss due to erosion.
4. Lanikai’s reef extends far from shore, causing waves to release much of their energy before reaching shore, making the water calm and shallow, gently sloping from the shore to the reef.
5. The ocean is also clear, seemingly unaffected by silt and particulates from freshwater streams.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you !
5 things I learned:
1. Lanikai is located on the east side of oahu. It is famous for its sunrises and moonrises.
2. the original name for lanikai was actually called ka’ohao which means tying together or joining together. Charles R Fraiser named this beach Lanikai where he thought it meant "heavenly sea" but written in hawaiian it actually means "sea heaven".
3. This beach is approximately 1 mile long, it narrows at both ends and widens in the middle. The water is clear and not clouded by stream runoff.
4. There are two islands at the south end of the beach known s the mokulua islands or for short the twin islands. The large island is called moku nui which consist of white sand and the small island is called moku iki that has a pebble beach.
5. The beach lost a lot of its precious white fine sand and suffered severe erosion problems. The problem will get significantly worse as global warming causes sea levels to rise Some other causes to erosion are storms and human actions such as the construction of sea walls, jetties and the judging of the stream.
1. This presentation very well put together. Maka‘i loa!
2. I appreciate the mana’o behind the original place name.
3. After watching this video, I realized how seawalls negatively impact the shore.
4. I also noticed that Kahala beach homes influence the same type of damage along the shore.
5. Now I know the two names of the iconic smaller islands.
This was a very informative video, and it is fascinating to learn more about Lanikai beach, one of my favorite and most beautiful beaches..
1. The Hawaiian name for Lanikai Beach is Ko'ohao
2. The Lanikai community was created as a real estate venture
3. Lanikai is a mistranslation which means "sea heaven"

Corinne McCreery (ERTH 103, Fall 2024)
Aloha,
Thank you for this video, it was very informative. I have always loved Lanikai Beach, and enjoy kayaking out to the Mokes. Despite having spent a lot of time in Kailua and Lanikai, I learned several things that I did not know before!
1. I learned that Lanikai's original name was Ka'ohao, meaning "tying together" or "joining together."
2. I did not know that there were 10 access entrances! I have never driven that far down Mokulua Drive, nor have I ever counted them.
3. Learning the fact that the reef is half a mile out at this beach was interesting. It has always seemed to extend further than at some other beaches, creating a calmer, flat affect whenever I visit Lanikai, allowing for optimal swim/float and snorkel conditions. Now, I know the physical reason behind this.
4. Lanikai Beach is about half the size it once was, due to climate change and erosion. :(
5. Seawalls disrupt the natural process and are proven to be ineffective against erosion - sad that we continue to build them, as "humanity's" interests are more concerned with $$$ and property value over preserving nature.
Wow, such an informative video. She is definitely a level 10 explorer
1. Overall, seawalls don't help fight erosion.
2. There are 10 public beach access points.
3. Lanikai beach has become considerably more popular with tourist in the last 4-5 years.
4. Erosion will continue to eliminate parts of the beach
5. Even though there is little break/ waves it is important to remember that safety comes first!
This was a very informative video, here is what I learned:
1. The Lanikai Beach is on the east side of Oahu
2. It was developed from the Koolau Shield Volcano, from the offshore reef and the two smaller islands
3. The traditional Hawaiian name of Lanikai beach is Ka’ohao, which means joining together.
4. Lanikai beach has a wide fringing reef that stretches out for half a mile into the sea.
5. The two islands that are at the end of the beach are known as “The Twin Islands.
Philip (ERTH 103, Summer 2024)
Thank you for making this video.
5 things I learn from this is
1. The two islands off the shore of lanikai are the Mokulu'a islands. They are called, Moku'iki which consist of pebble and Moku'nui which consist of white sand.
2. It is located in Kailua Bay, Northeast Oahu.
3. The original name is called Ka’ohao.
4. Which means tying together or joining together
5. Charles R fraizer bought 211 acres of beach front.
Love this beach! Awesome video.
ERTH 103, Summer 2024
1. The original name before Lanikai was Ka'ohao
2. Ka'ohao means tying together or joining together
3. The reefs extends about half a mile out into sea
4. There are two islands on the south end of the beach known as the twin islands.
5. The large island is known as Moku Nui and the small island known as Moku iki.
Hi! This video was lovely to watch, and taught me things I did not know despite living here all my life:
1. Lanikai, or Ko'ohau was developed by the Ko'olau volcano.
2. The reef formations of Lanikai stretch for a half of a mile into the sea, and that is what diffuses the waves before reaching the shore.
3. The sand on the beach stretches the coast for about a mile.
4. The north and south sides of the beach has decreased half of its size, and is seemingly going to worsen in the upcoming decades.
5. Erosion, global warming, sea level rising, sea wall construction, and other human factors contribute in the disturbance of natural sand flow, preventing the replenishment of the beaches.
Here are a few things I learned from this video. 1) The reef breaks down the big waves before it reaches the beach shore. 2) The beach is 1 mile long. 3) No stream runoff allows the water at Lanikai beach to appear more clear. 4) Due to erosion and sea level rise, the beach is half of it's original size. 5) The sea walls at the beach protect the houses but contribute to the erosion and "beach loss".
Thank you for your informational video!
Here are my key takeaways:
1. Lanikai beach was developed by the Ko'olau sheild volcano.
2. The original name for the Hawaiian land of Lanikai beach was called Ka'ohao.
3. Lanikai is located on the east side of O'ahu.
4. Lanikai beach is approximately 1 mile long.
5. The water does not have stream runoff so it is not cloudy.
6. The north and south end of Lanikai beach lost its white sand do to erosion problems.

2, The beach has been eroded by the ocean and is now half the size it used to be.
3, On the south side of the beach are two islands called the Twin Islands, the larger of which, Moko Nui, has a white sand beach, while the smaller, Moko Iki, has a pebble sand beach.
The beach is about 1 mile long, narrow at both ends, and has a total of 10 entrances and exits.
5, The seawalls protecting the houses are eroding due to the changing natural movement of the beach.
ERTH 103 Tatsuru Shiragami
I visited Lanikai Beach several times before and every experience I had there were quite pleasant. However, its been quite sometime since the last time I went since its pretty far from where I am. This video really gave me a great insight on the history of Lanikai and the geology behind its creation, so I’ll be sure to check off a date so I can visit it.
Here are the five things I’ve learned after watching the video:
1. Lanikai Beach is located on the East side of O’ahu island and was formed by the Ko’olau shield volcano, the offshore reef, and the two smaller islands
2. The Original name for the Hawaiian land is Ka’ohao which means “Tying Together” or “Joining Together”
3. Lanikai Beach has a wide fringing reef that extends half a mile out to sea which functions as a break water, diffusing much of the wave energy. This makes the beach usually surf free
4. Lanikai Beach is approx. 1 mi long and narrows at both end, widening in the middle.
5. The two smaller islands out from Lanikai beach are known as Mokulua islands. The larger island is called Moku Nui that consist of white sands. The smaller island is called Moku Ike and has a pebble beach. Both are apart of Hawaii’s seabird sanctuary.
Caitlin S. (ERTH 103, Fall 2024)
Fantastic job on this video!
5 things I learned:
1. Lanikai is located in the east side of Oahu
2.Lanikai's waters is not clouded by stream run off
3.The sea levels rising because of global warming puts homes at risk within the next decades
4.Charles R Fraiser named this beach Lanikai beach, he thought it meant heavenly sea but was mistaken, it actually means sea heaven in Hawaiian
5. Seawalls protect homes but disrupt the natural rock cycle as they can't produce sand
Teah Coelho (ERTH 103, Fall 2024)
Thank you for such an informative and interesting video!
1) Lanikai is located on the East side of O'ahu.
2) Lanikai Beach was formed by a shield volcano, Ko'olau.
3) The half a mile long reef functions like a break water and diffuses a majority of the wave energy before it hits the beach.
4) Lanikai Beach is about one mile long, narrows at the ends, and widens in the middle.
5) The construction of sea walls and jetties contribute to the erosion of the beach because they disrupt the natural flow of the sand.
My Aunt has a house on Lanikai and we'd spend time there as kids. Back in the days before the internet. Quiet, and no crowds.
1. It was originally called Kaʻohao.
2. The Mokes are a bird sanctuary and you can only set foot on Moku Nui.
3. Due to erosion the beach is half the size that it was when I was young
4. Because of the shape of Lanikai and the Mokes, there is very little wind and it produces no surf.
5. Because there is no stream runoff, the water is very clear and makes for great swimming.
Lanikai is one of my favorite beaches on Oahu!!
1. The original name for Lanikai was Ka’ohao which means tying together or joining together.
2. The beach is around 1 mile long with both ends being a bit narrower.
3. Lanikai beach has fine white sand throughout the whole beach.
4 Lanikai was developed from the Koʻolau volcano shield.
3. There are 10 different beach access entrances on Mokulea Drive that all lead to Lanikai Beach.
Yes the Lanikai beach is a beautiful beach as I was going through the process of looking at the clear waters and nice gentle tides flowing in to the shore. Sand is important for the beach but once the sand is gone or not enough sand is there on the beach in the sandbar, then things can go wrong when the waves become a bigger and stronger as the tides become big with stronger winds. As I was listening to the video of the Lanikai Beach it kind of reminded me of the Waikiki beach, when the Waikiki beach was losing sand from the rising shores from the waves. Then the Waikiki beach had to order thousand pound bags of sand to refill the sandbars.
ERTH 103
1. Lanikai is by far one of my favorite beaches on island.
2. I learned that surprisingly this beach is the most photographed in Oahu.
3. It was purchased by Charles R Frazer in the 1920s.
4. Ka'ohoa is the original name which means " time together" or " joining together ".
5. While watching this video it made me realize that I really miss this beach and I'm going to head there soon.
Dyanna Goldenberg (Erth 103, Fall 2024)
I was captivated by this video and its amazing pictures and videos here are some new facts I gathered...
- Sea walls may protect the homes and secure privacy for the homeowners but that makes the beach unable to produce sand.
-Lanikai in Hawaiian means sea heaven.
-The first purchaser of Lanikai was Charles R Frazier in 1926, who bought it as a subdivision and developed the Lanikai Community.
-The beach is approximately one mile in length.
-There are 2 islands found on the south end of the beach, and they are called the Mokulua islands or nicknamed "Mooks" or "Twin Islands"
Sanoe Faataape (FALL 2024)
Beautiful video of Lanikai
1) I learned the names of the 2 islands near Lanikai called the Mokuluas.
2) The beach's waters are calm due to the reef.
3) The water is clear because the mountain runoff doesn't go to that area.
4) Erosion of the beach is due to higher sea levels and climate change.
5) Lanikai's beach is slowly diminishing due to erosion and is half the size it used to be.
Loved this video! I have a lot of memories of going to Lanikai beach early in the morning to watch the sunrise and it was beautiful every time.
Here are 5 Geological/Environmental things I learned:
1. The original name of the beach was “Ka’ohao” which translates to “tying together” or “joining together”
1. Lanikai's reef extends around half a mile out to sea which causes most of the waves energy to be diffused before it reaches the shore.
2. Lanikai beach is famous for its sunrises and moonrises.
2. There are two smaller islands off the coast of Lanikai and they are called the Mokulua islands (twin islands). The bigger island is named Mokunui and the smaller one Mokuiki, these islands have become the state seabird sanctuaries.
4. Due to erosion because of rising sea levels Lanikai has lost most of its white sand. This was a result of global warming and geologists predict it will only get worse as time proceeds. Another reason for this is seawalls which disrupt the natural flow of sand.
Richard ERTH 103
1. I discovered that the reef at Lanikai Beach extends half a mile into the ocean, breaking the waves and creating a calm atmosphere.

3. I found out that both islands are part of Hawaii's seabird sanctuary.
4. The original name of Lanikai Beach was Ka’ohau, which translates to "joining together."
5. The land as we know it today was developed by Charles R. Frasier, who purchased it in 1920.
