Lovely Lanikai

          Tucked between a mountain ridge and the magical Mokulua Islands is a special Oahu neighborhood called Lanikai - Hawaiian for “Heavenly Water”.  It’s actually part of the larger community of Kailua (not to be confused with Kailua-Kona on the “Big Island” of Hawaii) on Windward Oahu. 

          Situated just south of world-famous Kailua Beach, the Lanikai neighborhood has an interesting layout.  At the north-end or entrance of the neighborhood is the distinctive Lanikai monument featured on postcards and in local artwork.  The view of the ocean and surrounding mountains from the monument is absolutely breathtaking!  At this point the 2-lane road taking you into Lanikai becomes a 1-lane loop road around the neighborhood.  The road into Lanikai - A’alapapa Drive - runs along the inland or Lanikai ridge side of the community.   After a little over a mile, A’alapapa makes a U-turn to the left and becomes Mokulua Drive which runs along the beach side of the community and returns to the Lanikai monument at the entrance.   The “Lanikai Loop” road is a favorite running and walking path due to the bike lane that runs the full length of the loop.  In fact, spending time on the Lanikai Loop is so popular some folks joke that Lanikai actually means, “I jog daily!”

          There are many things to love about Lanikai … the gorgeous white sandy beach, the beauty of the Mokulua Islands offshore, the scenic vistas from the World War II pillboxes on the Lanikai ridge, or simply the relaxed family-friendly atmosphere that pervades the neighborhood.

          If you would like more information about lovely Lanikai just call or email me.  I’ve been a resident of this fair neighborhood for 14 years and there is so much to share … Aloha!  Allison
