One of the most beautiful beachparks I've visited in Hawai'i! The sand is white and the water light turquoise and just the right temperature. No strong currents and big waves, ideal for kids.
A quiet retreat in paradise. The white sand powder beach and clear turquoise water only compliment this hidden gem on the windward side. Great for sunbathing or windsurfing!
You can kayak to the nearby islands tho renting a kayak is a very cumbersome. Recommend parking at the rental place 1/2 mile away and walking your kayak to the beach. Winds get strong in afternoon.
Kailua Beach is a hidden (relative to Waikiki) gem, with water that's even more beautiful, white sand that's even softer, and a quieter, more local atmosphere that's really refreshing.
A nice and can be busy beachpark. Is large though so it usually doesn't feel too crowded. The earlier you come the less people will be there. The is a very nice sandy beach accessible by this park.
Super beach, not as quiet as some on the west coast, not as busy as those near Honolulu. The windward coast lived up to its name when we were there and it got very blowy in the shades areas.
Excellent beach, turquoise blue water, soft powdery sand. Good spot for body boarding even for beginners - 10$ rentals for the whole day. Restroom/showers are available on the beach.
Nice beach! Definitely a public one too! If you go in the morning wear shoes. Some people forget to get rid of fires and just put sand on top of it. Ouch!
Beautiful, but not for snorkeling. Nothing bad, but no coral or other things to see while snorkeling. Beautiful for sun bathing though and has showers / toilets.
If you're in the mood to rent a kayak or snorkeling gear, kailua kayak rental is just down the road. Panoramic views with the most beautiful blue water I've ever seen
Kailua Beach is my home and I love it, but it has become much too popular lately with the tourists who at least go back to Waikiki at night. Please be respectful of the folks who live here and Aloha..
