While there's so much food I did try. I will say it was hard to try new beaches when you have a few to compare to that you absolutely love. There may only be a few, but they're my tried an true. At the end of the day I ended up at one of these. ❤️

This trail is easy for beginners, stray away from wearing open toed shoes or white sneakers. Trail is muddy & there's lots of rocks. While it is family friendly make sure to keep an eye on your littles, witnessed few getting injured for not watch...
Mānoa Falls Trail

Beautiful beach! Definitely 10x better than Waikiki beach in my opinion, however it's private so parking isn't the greatest. Get there early & walk or plan to take an Uber. Either way, from someone who's done both it's worth it.
Lanikai Beach

The softest sand! This beach is just a short walk away from Lanikai. Spent most of my vacation at this beach and with great reason. 🥰
Kailua Beach

Love! However, make sure you time yourself right. If the tide's too high or too strong it isn't advised that you go in. Regardless, it's still a beautiful view.
Mermaid Caves

Unlike other beaches this was not a crowded one by any means. Loved this beach so much especially finding it nearby the Mermaids Cave.

You're on an island, why not have fun? Super easy to rent! Reserve, call when you arrive, show proof of ID, pay and you're set. Don't leak the secret, but they're also the most affordable rental out there without the $750 deposit fee. 😏

10/10 Recommend if you're ever on the island and need a rental! What you go with is on you, I went for the cheapest option and was handed a 2020 Civc, no complaints here! Super easy to pick up & drop off. Also helps if I mention that they're the ...

Delish 😋

You can't go to Oahu and not have any good food recs 😉 My mission from the very beginning was to try local foods & more importantly the local coffee. I might add I was NOT disappointed. 💓

Loved this place sm, didn't get to try too much as it was just a stop for a quick lunch but their menu is soo good. They typically have a special daily and recently just expanded their patio! 10/10

They have the best macadamia nut latte imo. I prefer it iced. I was so excited find out that they took over a Starbucks location this visit. A lot closer to my hotel, although I don't mind long walks. The original location is right across the beach! ...
Kai Coffee

Technically a hotel (a great one btw) BUT! they have the cutest little coffee shop out by the lobby. Another great coffee place to try.

Trust me when I say you want to share the Dole! It's so big & it melts fast. Not just for Dole but you can also go into the maze & checkout the pineapples. Lots of little shops to checkout!

Cutest little ramen spot. Be sure you're not quite starving on your way here, there's always a wait! The wait is worth it though 10/10 recommend.

How to even decide between the catsu chicken & the udon tonkotsu? Answer: you get both! Try it for lunch, if you go for dinner you'll be waiting quite awhile. Experience is the same, trust me. Oh! and if you're into matcha, theirs is pretty darn ...

Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to dine here but if the food is as good as the pastries I'm sure it won't disappoint. 🧁💕

Finding authentic Mexican cuisine on the island is hard to find and this place came in pretty close. I will say pricing is a little steep, but it's definitely worth a try.

The food is as good as it looks 😋

I could have been starving from spending most of the day at the beach, but I would fly back just for the burgers. There's so many options & I would order the entire menu, however trust me when I say 1 is enough. ☺️
