1. Lanikai Beach
Location: Oahu, Hawaii
What's Cool: This beach oasis is noted for serving up one of the best sunrises on Oahu.
-----------------------------------------
Half a mile of sparkling sand, palm trees that sway over a white beach, lush tropical plants and endless sunshine make Lanikai one of Hawaii's most scenic beaches. The shore is protected by a nearby coral reef, which keeps the surf relatively calm, and the water is always a deep turquoise or green. Visitors to Lanikai can kayak to the nearby twin islands of Mokumanu and Mokulua, both noted bird sanctuaries. Lanikai not only seems postcard-perfect … it truly is! Having lured many models and photographers over the years, this beach is one of Hawaii's most popular spots for photo shoots!
