Admission includedPaddling out from Lanikai Beach, you catch your first full view of Na Mokulua rising from the Pacific, their green ridgelines sharp against the sky. The two islets sit close enough to feel reachable yet remote enough to feel like a true escape. Na Mokulua reward those who make the crossing with a small crescent beach, crystalline shallows, and the quiet company of nesting seabirds. Few places on Oahu offer this combination of raw coastline and accessible solitude.
