## Quick answer

The open shoreline looking out to Popoia (Flat Island) and toward Nā Mokulua is the classic backdrop.

## Detailed answer

Good frames include the beach looking out to Popoia, the mouth of Kaʻelepulu Stream at the south end, and the turquoise water seen from the sand. For a view over the whole bay, many people hike the Kaiwa Ridge (Lanikai Pillbox) trail outside the park. Stay off the dune plantings that the City has fenced with posts and rope.
