- Time to explore Oahu’s beaches! Here are our 10 favorite beaches from Lanikai Beach to the Ko Olina Lagoons to Waikiki Beach. Plus, one bonus beach cove where they film movies.
Erica, Henry, and I will take you on a drive around #Oahu to show you our favorite beaches. To make our list these beaches needed to have white or golden sand, safe surf breaks most of the year, and beautiful scenery. The water is always crystal clear so that was a no-brainer.
How do you fit these beaches into your Oahu, #Hawaii itinerary? Check out our Oahu itineraries for ways to save, tips from locals, when to make reservations, where to stay, and a step-by-step pre-travel testing video: thehawaiivacationguide.com/oahu/

Lanikai is breathtaking every time I see it. A really nice beach I also enjoyed is Makua beach, the mountains 🏔 backdrop is something else!
Went to lanikai beach today and was amazed by its beauty..still in awe..the waves were so calm and water super warm.
I’m glad the weather was good! It usually is but there have been some big swells this October. Thanks for sharing!
Great way to get my homesick fix! Waimea and Lanikai are my two favorite beaches on the planet...
I love how every intro is a real intro into the video, you guys don’t use a cut and paste intro. Love the videos!! Hopefully we can see u guys in Maui in May/June!!
Wow, thats a lot of beaches.... And The video is just starting!
Lanikai is the best one in my pov.
Gracias for the tips
Love it! Beautiful beaches and can’t wait to eat the food
We love your videos and have watched every one! I can really tell that you guys are getting into the groove and very comfortable in front of the camera. Amazing shots per usual. Thank you for the content that you guys produce and sharing your experiences with us.
Love your content !
Your videos are so awesome and informative! Thank you and God bless!👏🏽☝🏽🙌🏽💗😊
Mahalo Guys. very informative video, all beaches looks just beautiful. can't wait to visit all of them next month. We love Waimanalo beach and secret beach.
We love your videos. Being from New Zealand, we can't travel to Hawaii due to covid. Your videos help so much with our 'Hawaiian hangover." I don't know if that's a term used over there but over here we use it to describe that sad feeling of having to go back to reality after a hawaiian vacation...Where the only real cure of a Hawaiian hangover is to go back.
Spent a month on the windward side last year. Waimanalo is probably my favorite beach in the world after that trip, and we visited so many other wonderful beaches including most of the ones on this list! One that we loved that isn't mentioned here is Keawaula Beach! It's at the end of the road driving north on the leeward coast. It's off the beaten path and a lot quieter than most beaches and the mountain scenery was so beautiful and impossibly green! The beach itself was great (though no shade, a good idea to bring your own) and there were HUGE waves to play in, big enough to be exciting, but not so big that it was really dangerous. Also stopped at Makaha Beach Park on the way home, it was a great place to watch surfers and some very fancy boogy boarders.
Thanks so much for sharing your favorite beaches. I hope you can make it back soon.

i'm getting married in Waimea Valley this April and I'm using all your videos and blogposts to plan a fun itinerary for our family and friends. THANK YOU!!!!
Love your videos & appreciate the drone views... loved the very last beach... been to half the beaches... one memory is at Makapu'u with my dad & husband. My brave father in those Makapu'u waves with me! He went to Oahu 3 x's a year. My love of Hawaii started when I was 4. Now at almost 70... I can't travel. So sure enjoy you making this! It would be great to have a 30 minutes relax video with the last beach,, water, rocks, waves, sand and sky. That would be perfect! Bless your family and stay well! Aloha! A grateful California gramma 🌺🌴🌺⛱🌺🏝
Thanks for sharing! Your dad was a brave man! We have a few sunset videos here if you are looking for some peace: th-cam.com/play/PLAtd_s8w8KUVh3JpYajjSTVqyYcDfYAkB.html
Have a good day n make verybeautiful videos
Most beautiful island in the world Hawaii
Sunrise at Lanikai Beach 🤙
from the pillbox!
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide 🙂🤙
Plaze super ok🙋🌁✈️🇷🇸🤗👍🌴🌎
Favorite beach is Bellows Beach, north of Waimanalo Bay. Lanikai would be second, especially after hiking the Pill Boxes in the morning.
I heard Bellows Beach has good surfing too!
Mahalo Ohana
Thanks for the content guys! Moved here three weeks ago, and thanks to your multiple vids, really getting to know the island!
What I don't like about majority of the best Hawaiian beaches is that Americans built so tall hotels too near the beach. IMO, it takes a little the beauty of the beach. I prefer beaches with the surroundings preserved. They did that in Cancun too. Imagine how was Cancun in the 70s, before all those huge hotels. Nowadays it looks like a shopping mall with a beach in front.
Hi there. Great video!👍. About what time do you recommend getting to the beach in the morning before the large crowds come? Thank you!
Thank you for sharing so many videos!! Do you recommend a good beach for teens to boogie board in Oahu? Like 3 foot-4foot waves in July? Sandy bottom and preferably condos nearby. And not overly populated. I know it’s a tall order :)
I did an engagement shoot for a couple at Shark's Cove in 1999. Thanks for taking me back to that memory.
Hey y'all. I'm a big fan of the videos. I'm traveling to Oahu in March and would love some recommendations on some things to do that only locals know about. Could you guys help?
We ended up getting an earlier flight, and got back at about 1230 EST, 0730 there, today. We loved the Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana, but for the videos, pictures, and turtles, we just loved Laniakea. The waves got me a few times, while not paying attention. The sweet volunteers that help protect the turtles at Laniakea tried to let us know they were coming in, but we didn't hear them. LOL I got soaked. We went to two others, but I forget their names. when I look at the pictures and videos, I will pull the GPS details. Sorry I missed you all.
Can’t wait for our trip in April! But I have a question. How do you handle all the negativity from people who have morbid things to say about traveling? I know of all the travel guidelines and regulations. But people just get so upset ☹️ What’s your advice for dealing with the negativity?
We just make sure we’re educated on the rules for where we are going. For example, we know Hawaii’s mask rules and make sure to follow them always.
Can you do a best snorkel spots of Oahu/ Honolulu/ big island if you haven’t already? I loved your Maui one!
The Oahu video is in the works. We realized we missed a spot so getting some more footage. Thanks for the recommendation
I’d love to see this one, too!
And Kauai please
I recommend Hanauma Bay
for snorkeling. I heard you can also snorkel at Shark's Cove in the North Shore
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide how about Kauai???
What beach are drone friendly? Are they strict on drones, I really want a shot at Waikiki
Do you recommend getting a jeep or it will much better to navigate in a small car ? Booked for Oahu in July.
Get a keep if you want the experience but a small car is always easier to park and drive. A Jeep is purely for fun, not required.
Hi, whats the best way to travel from Oahu to Maui i would want to visit both islands.. thx in advance
Hawaiian airlines or southwest have the best prices. Flying is the only option. Reminder, currently a negative covid test is required to fly from Oahu to neighboring islands.
Is it safe for beginner swimmer? I love swimming in pools can I do the same on these beaches?
check lifeguard flags and ocean conditions before you go. Waikiki beach has little surf break and protected coves like Shark's Cove are a good place to start.
How's the crowds these days? Getting back to normal or still way down?
This is our question too. We Finally got out of the house...and went to Disney for 2 weeks in Florida a week ago. Flight, hotel, and Disney felt VERY safe ....trying to get courage to go back to Kauai. Been there 7 times. Have not had luck finding a good snorkeling place but loved everything else ❤
crowds aren't too bad but there are still a good number tourists in the very popular spots
Are the Waikiki beaches free or do you have to stay in those hotel to have access to the beach in front of them?
all beaches in Hawaii are public! it is your right to enjoy the beach.
Hey guys on the Ko Lina lagoon #1 is that where Aulani is?
Yes it is. Four Seasons and Aulani are on lagoon 1
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide so where do you park?
Do you know any beach area with BBQ grill thats open for public use?! thank you
all beaches are public but I can't remember which ones have BBQ grills available. Look for Beach Parks as they will have grills.
How about the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar? any affordable way to get there besides kayak?
It is a cool place to visit, we have heard. we haven't made it out there but plan to on the next trip.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide We went to Lanikai 7/3 of this year on our 1st visit to Oahu but Lanikai it was super crowded and could not get ant parking. All of the streets had no parking signs due to constructions. We tried Waimanalo and luckily as soon as we drove in the lot, someone was pulling out... I thought Waimanalo looks more beautiful than Lanikai. Now comparing which is better and have read a few articles saying there's a lot of crime by waimanalo beach park?
Has parking been the same since covid time?
it's been even better ;)
Is this right now or are these prerecorded?
Late December 2020! Thanks for watching
I went to the link but there is no free itinerary.

Maui is better
