Returning to Kailua after 24 years, I was so happy to find Kailua Beach Park still unspoilt with no hotels and only fringed by the gardens of houses backing onto it. The water is unbelievably blue-turquoise crystal clear. There are water sports but only the quiet non motorised types. It is also now frequented by tourists from all over the... More

Amazing beach in Oahu, definitely the place to go if you are travelling with children or people who cannot swim. Waves are calm, water is turquoise and clear, white sands. We spent a nice, relaxing day at this beach and spent most of the time in the water. There's some shops and restaurant nearby, but we did not spend time... More

One of the best things about this beach is the lack of an undertow and small waves. What a great place for weddings, parties, children and photography. More

The sand is white and the beach is clean with beautiful Hawaiian veiws of the ocean and surrounding small islands. We have been here several times and always enjoy the clean, clear water and the warm Hawaiian sun. A great beach for family or just you and your wonderful other! More
