Lanikai Beach
Beautiful beach with turquoise water!
A perfect place to snorkel for beginners. No tour needed, you can drive there with your own snorkeling gear. Note, the parking lot has limited spots so they close the lot and reopen it every hour or so. If they don't let you in the first time you drive there, wait for a few minutes, drive back and try your luck. 😂
