Leeward, Oahu is broken up into 6 different towns, Poohuna Point, Nanakuli, Makaha, Waianae, Lualualei, and Maili. The dryer cost of Oahu is the Leeward Coast lying at the foothills of the Waianae mountain range, 30 miles west of Waikiki. The contrast between the regions is like night and day, from a urban bustling community of the Windward Side to a less developed, more rural area offering a slower, quiet pace of life. The beautiful off-the-beaten-path offers picturesque small towns and gorgeous beaches.
