Kalama Beach at a Glance
Kalama Beach Park, located on Oahu’s windward coast, is
a smaller beach located in Kailua Bay. It is much less crowded
than popular and nearby Kailua Beach, but with the same
postcard-perfect white sands, turquoise waters and native
palms. It’s precisely the lack of attention and the serene
atmosphere that make this beach worth checking out.
Kalama has one of the safest waters on the island. Swimmers
and surfers find the water pleasantly calm even in the winter,
and water sport events are held all year round. The beach
itself is small, but beyond that is a huge expanse of grass
where you can play volleyball, baseball and other ball games.
Kalama Beach is also well-equipped. Restrooms, showers and
rental shops are easily accessible from the beach area.
Shaded spots under the trees are excellent for picnics.
As with many windward beaches, you should watch out for
the Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish, which can swarm close
to the shore and cause really bad rashes. They usually occur
9-12 days after a full moon, but may be seen on other days
as well. Get out of the water as soon as you see one of
these translucent blue bodies. In the summer, there may
also be some stinging seaweed. Signs are put up to warn
against danger-prone areas, so be sure to follow them.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
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
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please
