Ko Olina is a resort of 4 + calming lagoons. They stretch about a 3 mile radius. This resort has several upscale hotels that feature lovely restaurants and golf. Monkey pod, Mina’s fish house and Longhi are our favorites. The beaches have showers and bathrooms to change. If you walk past the four seasons hotel you’ll come across sacred Beach (sights and photos not safe for swim), then secret beach( great for snorkeling we spot turtles here) and Paradise Cove Beach. We’ve seen monk seals on more than one occasion. Make a day of it if you want to venture to west Oahu.
