About Kailua:
Oahu's Kailua, , meaning 'two seas' or 'two currents,' is named after either the two lagoons located on the island or the two currents that run through Kailua Bay. Steady trade winds make Kailua beach a great windsurfing and kite-flying destination. Kailua Beach Park features a pristine white strand and views of the offshore island known as Moko nui or 'two islands.'
'Best Beach on the Island!':
Unbelievable views, great white sand, absolutely amazing beach. We went on a Wednesday morning on our way to the Valley of the Temples(Byodo-In Temple) and the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was our second last day on the Island and we really wish we would have visited the beach earlier because we definitely would have gone back. The beach is about a 40 min drive from Waikiki, and is also accessible by bus. Compared to Waikiki beach, its bigger, less crowded, has better views and is great for swimming and water sports. I really wish we could have spent more time there.
“Best views, access, atmosphere and much more!” Ka:
Kailua Beach is a choice that rarely would be a mistake as it offers so much. For sure any issues that may occur at the time you go will no doubt be compensated in other ways. I was there in late October of 2007 and it was great. It is about a 40 to 60 minute drive from the other side of the island. Very memorable place for your trip. Plan a couple of your excursions to include this beach on the way to or from so you can make the most of the day. If going in the summer, this beach is out of the scope of most tourist so you will not be crowded even on weekends.
