🌴 Oahu's Most Stunning Hike | Lanikai Pillbox Trail 🏝️
🔹 Duration : ~1 hour round trip 🔹 Trailhead : Search *"Lanikai Pillbox Trail Head"* – entrance is subtle (near a golf course). Park in the neighborhood and walk uphill to the first pillbox bunker. 🗺️⛳ *Pro tip*: Use *AllTrails* for navigation! 🔹 Difficulty : Steep and rocky (yet I saw people in *flip-flops with kids*?! 😅). Prepare to sweat! 💦 🔹 Reward : The BEST views on Oahu – even on cloudy days, Lanikai Beach’s turquoise water steals the show! 🌊💙 🏖️ Lanikai Beach = Oahu’s #1 Beach Skip Waikīkī (crowded, dirty water, no parking 🚫). Lanikai’s powder sand + crystal waves are *perfection*. For big waves, head to North Shore instead! 🌊🏄 🔹 Best Time : Afternoon ! Sun sets west, lighting up the east-facing coast. Morning = backlit photos. ☀️📸 (*North Shore = morning hikes!*) #Oahu #Hawaii #HiddenHawaii #HikingAdventures #Lanikai #TravelTips
