1 ' Stay at an Oahu Beach House Rental

When it comes to vacations, many travelers automatically think of hotels and vacation resorts. While Oahu is filled with great hotels and vacation resorts, you will want to take the time to examine Oahu vacation rentals, namely a private beach house rental.

It is also important to touch on privacy. When you stay at an Oahu beach house rental, you and your new spouse should be on the only tourists onsite.

Lanikai Beach is perfect for those on honeymoons, like yourself, as it is off the beaten path. Although it is increasing in popularity among tourists, it is still referred to as a hidden treasure.

As for why Lanikai Beach isn't overcrowded, it is due to being located in a residential area. There are, however, multiple public access points for you to use. Once you arrive at the beach, you won't find any restroom or lifeguards, but you will find paradise. Just a few of the activities that you can enjoy at this beach include swimming, snorkeling, picnicking, and sunbathing.

If you opt to stay at a nearby Oahu beach house rental, you can make it in time for the morning sunrise, which will astound you.

3 ' Kayak to Mokulua and Mokumanu

In keeping with visiting Lanikai Beach, if you decide to stay at an Oahu beach house rental nearby, you should have the opportunity to kayak to the nearby twin islands. These islands are known as Mokulua and Mokumanu. All you have to do is visit Lanikai Beach, view them from the coast and you will automatically want to make the trip.

Kayaking can not only be fun, but romantic as well, especially when you reach the destination. The twin islands of Mokulua and Mokumanu are bird sanctuaries. Kayak rental stations are located nearby.

4 - Visit Shark's Cove

Snorkeling, as previously stated, is an activity that is perfect for honeymoons. Not only can it be fun and exciting, but it can also be romantic.

All of which you can see up close and personal.

Reef sharks are commonly seen in the area. Although regarded as relatively harmless, it is still wise to use your best judgment. Speaking of best judgment, keep a close eye on the water. It is recommended that you do not enter the water here during the winter months, as it can be fierce and dangerous.
