Only about a half hour from Honolulu on the windward side of Oahu, Kailua Beach is often declared as one of the most beautiful beaches in the States. With a half-mile of powder fine white sand, clear azure water, and constant gentle breezes, Kailua Beach Park is a popular locals’ getaway from the crowds of Honolulu. It is great for swimming, surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, diving, and parasailing.
There are several shops renting out sports equipment. The nearby small islands are fun to visit with a kayak, and you can find many small restaurants offering tasty local food along the road to the beach. Shaved ice is the most popular refreshing treat on a hot day. Visitors often pick up food to eat on the grassy picnic area on the beach with a perfect view of the ocean.
