📜 History of the Pillboxes
The “pillboxes” at Lanikai are actually World War II observation posts, built in the early 1940s to help spot enemy ships and planes. While they were never armed with weapons, they served as lookout points to protect Oʻahu’s eastern shore. Today, they’re a colorful landmark — often painted with murals — and a reminder of Hawaiʻi’s history and resilience.
