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.
