With approximately 750 miles of stunning coastline, the Hawaiian Islands are easily home to some of the greatest beaches in the world, including several amazing stretches of fine, pristine, white sand that look as though they are straight from the pages of your favorite Travel magazine — or perhaps even your favorite Hawaii-based television show, as evidenced by this lagoon made famous by Magnum P.I.
Perhaps the most well-known television show in Hawaii — second only to Hawaii Five-O — Magnum P.I. has filmed in countless locations across the Aloha State, but none are more famous than this off-the-beaten-path lagoon.

Nestled along the coast of windward Oahu between Makapu’u Point and Waimanalo Beach, this picture-perfect location features fine, white sand and crystalline turquoise waters crashing against the confines of a man-made lagoon.

How do you know you’re in the right spot? Well, the lagoon is backed by the real-life setting for Robin’s Nest, the breathtaking oceanfront estate owned by millionaire pulp novelist Robin Masters on Magnum P.I.

The private residence isn’t open to the public, visitors are still welcome to walk along the public beach and swim in the tidal pool. After all — Hawaiian beaches are all open to the public.

Don’t forget your camera! Always enticing, sparkling blue waters and the view of Rabbit Island in the background make this spot one of the prettiest on the island.

The best way to visit what’s known as the Magnum P.I. Lagoon is to find the public right of way to the beach on Kalanianaole Highway and walk along the beach. Just be careful to time your visit with the tides — you don’t want to get stuck along the sea walls here.
