Laniloa Beach

Spend the afternoon out in Oahu

Nestled in La‘ie town, Laniloa Beach offers a hidden paradise easily overlooked by many. Situated just 0.2 miles past McDonald’s (toward Kahuku) with a distinct green sign for Hawaiian Reserves Inc., this beach is a local gem. Parking on the opposite side of the street, a brief 60-second stroll leads you to a picturesque stretch of sand overlooking the impressive La‘ie Point, providing a breathtaking view you won't want to miss.

While the mostly rocky bottom adds character to the waters, a protective reef further out ensures safe swimming. There's a sandy patch to the left of the shoreline access point, enhancing the beach experience. Laniloa Beach, with its serene ambiance and often overlooked status, makes for an ideal destination to unwind. Several trees offer shaded spots, creating a perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon by the shore.
