Top Lodging Gem #2 – Kahakai
Cottage Beachfront, Kaaawa, Oahu Island, Hawaii
Want to avoid the crowded beaches of Waikiki? This room is
located on the North Shore of Oahu, just down the road from Kualoa
Ranch, where movie scenes for 50
First Dates, Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park, Lost and others were filmed. And, if you want a photo of Chinaman’s
hat, head down the road to Kualoa Regional Park early in the morning when there
are fewer crowds.
The room is perfectly located on the beach, so grab a noodle
or other floatation device from their outside storage unit and walk 10 steps or
so to the beach. The outside porch is perfect for a sunrise breakfast, moonrise
or for air drying swimsuits in the ocean breeze. Best of all, leave the porch doors
open and fall asleep to decadent ocean smells and sounds.
There’s a lot to do on Oahu including swimming with sharks,
if you have an adventurous side. Head up the shore to Haleiwa for a memorable
shark experience. We did!
