| Lanikai/Kailua, Oahu |
|
Along with Kailua, these twin residential communities on southeastern Oahu extends along Kailua Bay - lie 13 miles northeast of Honolulu just south of Kaneohe. According to Hawaiian legend, the mountainous area surrounding Kailua was formed from a giant turned to stone. The communities occupy a superb white sand beach where Oahu’s ancient kings lived; the beach is now a popular recreational site, particularly for windsurfing and surfing. Many residents commute to Honolulu by the road tunnel through the Koolau Range.
