The Lanikai Pillbox Hike (Kaiwa Ridge Trail) #lifeatexpedia

Kalama Tract

Kalama Tract gives you authentic Hawaiian living without the tourist hustle. This peaceful residential pocket puts you just a short walk from world-famous Kailua Beach's turquoise waters and powder-soft sand. Lush tropical gardens and swaying palms line the quiet streets, creating a perfect base for beach days, kayaking adventures, or exploring the nearby Kawainui Marsh. The neighborhood itself has few businesses, so you'll head to Kailua town center (just 5-10 minutes away) for restaurants, shopping, and weekly farmers markets. Most accommodations are vacation rentals with private pools and tropical gardens, offering a genuine slice of island life with easy beach access.

Learn more about Kailua

Turquoise waters lap against Kailua Beach's powdery white sand, creating a postcard scene that locals somehow take for granted. Kayak to the twin Mokulua Islands offshore, where turtles bask on rocks with the nonchalance of sunbathers. The Lanikai Pillbox Trail rewards a moderate climb with panoramic views that explain why Obama chose this neighborhood for his winter retreats. Kawainui Marsh offers a different kind of beauty, with ancient fishponds that gave the town its name ('two seas' in Hawaiian). After swimming, the shave ice stands along Kailua Road provide rainbow-colored relief from the tropical sun. For a less-crowded experience than Waikiki, Kalama Beach Park offers the same perfect waters without the tourist crush.

I have photographed the beautiful Lanikai Beach from so many angles, but sunrise is by far my favorite. Before anybody shows up on the beach, when the sea is calm and cotton candy colors dance across a clouded sky. I snapped this photo of my best friend taking a photo.

"Clean and very nice and helpful staff. Great location. Walking distance to everything. The gym has many cardio machines but not weight machines. There are dumbles, however which was fine for me. The gym air conditioner was also set to 76 to 78f which was not comfortable. Pool is small but clean. Breakfast is average nothing fancy, eggs, pancakes, sausages, cereal, and yogurt Overal it was well worth the money i paid (i got discount but even the original price was fair) "
