The Laie center point is about 1 mile northwest of Polynesian Cultural Center and 7 miles east of Sunset Beach Surfing Area.
Below are reviews of the city of Laie, HI from an actual visitor's perspective.
Beach so so very close and quiet. Not too many people.
We ate at Pounders, which I thought was good. Also ate at Tikas for breakfast which was different but tasty. Dan's stopped for some shaved ice, which he loved. Beach was lovely!
