If you want to get away from the high rises of Waikiki this is the place for you. A short walk to the patrolled beach at Kailua, or a great walk around the headland to Lanikai. And for the more adventurous a short hike up the pillbox. Bob gives good local tips including where to eat (some really good places). Still just over half an hour to Waikiki by car. A bonus - Bob does the best impression of an Australian accent. I encourage any aussies to try him out.
