Starting a day with a hike on the Lanikai Pillbox Trail is a popular way to get out of Honolulu for a magnificent morning sight. Although the view is beautiful any time of day, most people prefer to visit the pillboxes (bunkers constructed during World War II) in time for sunrise to take in the stunning morning light over Lanikai Beach and the Mokes (or Na Mokulua Islands).
