After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
The Hawaiian Islands are home to 750 miles of stunning coastline — putting the Aloha State behind Alaska, Florida, and California when it comes to coastline length. And while among that coastline you will find countless rock formations and sea cliffs, the beaches are what truly matters. On Oahu alone, there are more than 125 different beaches! And while many of Hawaii’s beaches offer miles and miles of fine, white sand, Ke Iki Beach is known for the sea glass you might find along the shore.
Nestled on the north shore of Oahu just miles from many of the world’s most famous surf destinations, Ke Iki Beach is an underrated slice of paradise just waiting to be discovered.
The shore break at Ke Iki Beach can be intense, but that’s exactly what beachcombers are looking for, as the crashing waves bring saltwater-smoothed shards of glass to shore.
Bring a picnic to enjoy as well as a vessel to collect your sea glass and enjoy a picturesque Hawaiian day hunting for sea glass and other tiny treasures - like shells and bits of coral.
