Russell Kealoha’s Picks for Best Beaches in Oahu

By Brian Yaeger Published July 2010, Volume 31, Number 3

World-class: “Lanikai Beach is (rated) one of the nicest beaches in the world, located in Kailua over on the east side of Oahu.”

Swim with green sea turtles: “Hanauma Bay is a definite must go. It has beautiful, clear blue water and fish that might bite you if you try to feed them.”

Hang ten: “Ehukai Beach on the North Shore is where you’ll find the Banzai Pipeline. Look but don’t try.”
