Kailua Beach Park at a Glance
If you could squeeze Hawaii into a single mile, you’d probably
get something like Kailua Beach Park. Located on Oahu's
windward coast, Kailua gives you the whole package: soft
white sand, towering palms and crystal clear, turquoise
waters. Even the locals never get tired of this place -
you see them working out here first thing in the morning,
and they lead the beach parties late into the night.
For tourists, Kailua Beach is a popular sporting hub. The
water has just the right surf for an exciting ride, but
is calm enough to be safe for beginners. Kailua is a world-class
windsurfing spot, and most of the shops offer lessons and
equipment rental for beginners. The beach is also great
for children because the sand is so soft here and the waves
are usually small.
If you’re into kayaking, try taking a short trip to the
nearby Flat Island. Here you’ll find a good population of
green sea turtles and other rare creatures. The area is
also great for snorkeling, especially in the summer. Most
of the essentials can be rented from the shops, but it’s
a lot cheaper to bring your own gear.
The only thing to watch out for is the occasional appearance
of Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish. They usually invade
the beaches 9-12 days after a full moon (but may occur on
other days as well) and can cause painful rashes with even
the slightest touch. Limu, or stinging seaweed, also appears
from time to time. Watch out for warning signs posted on
the beach.

be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
