Lanikai: A Community to Experience
May 27th, 2007
For great beauty and fantastic water attractions explore Lanikai. You can discover activities like wind and kite surfing, swimming, and kayaking to name only a few. Though Lanikai has plenty of striking beaches, warm sand, and clear blue ocean waters, you can also learn a little history and culture. There are some historical sites where you can check out shrines in honor of the fish gods. Native Hawaiians long ago built these shrines near the “hilltop house” and at Waimanalo.
At the “Hilltop House” you get the added bonus of great views. Enjoy strolls or picnics at the community park that both tourists and locals take advantage of. Due to the efforts of the Lanikai Association these amenities are available for everyone. The land for the park was purchased in the late 1940’s and early 50’s. Funding for the project came about by the association’s luaus and performance group productions. They also contributed to a bikeway that passes through the community. The area offers so many activities and has such a lovely neighborly feeling. Lanikai, with all there is to do and the great community atmosphere can make anyone feel like they are home.
