Windward East Oahu

4.52
The cool, lush east side of Oahu is known for it's slower-paced lifestyle and small-town atmosphere compared to the busy, hectic life of the city—most of the coastline is accessible only through a single road. The east coast boasts some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, such as Makapuu, Lanikai, Kaneohe, Kualoa, and Laie beach parks. The nearby Koolau mountain range ascends sharply on this side, giving the area its signature winds and cool climate.
