We took a guided kayak tour of Kailua Bay through Mokulua Kayak Guides and it was amazing. Probably the highlight of our trip. We unfortunately were staying in Waikiki, and not Kailua, but they came and picked us up from Waikiki and brought us over to the beach at Kailua. Our guide showed us turtles, birds and other wildlife, as well as explained ...

Never crowded
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/21/07
When we moved back to Hawaii, we deliberately took a smaller home just for the privilege of living near this beach. It is a great family beach, and on weekends although the lot might be full and the grass park filled with birthday parties and other large groups, once you get to the beach all it takes is a short walk and you'll feel like you ...

Best Beach on Oahu
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/07
Me and my husband go to Hawaii every year and Kailua Beach is by far our favorite place. Just this past December I was swimming at Kailua Beach park and I saw a head pop up out of the water about 10 ft away. It was a curious sea turtle. Water is a beautiful clear aqua blue without the crowds. We like it so much we are planning a move to hawaii in the next 6 years or so and hope that we will be able to find a place we can afford in Kailua.

We love it and were moving to Kailua
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/15/05
I loved it! The people around are so Nice. Kailua is an amazing vacation spot and its great for the kids to have a good time. Kailua is a very beautiful place.
No wonder it was voted the best beach in America in 1998. Soft sand and clear water. Awesome for swimming. Even though it is on the windward side, the waves are considerably smaller compared to other beaches on a windy day. It is not crowded on weekedays. You still have a lot of space between among the beach towels. The location is convenient and the facilities are satisfactory.

Best money spent on our trip
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/04/05
The cost of a house rental near the beach is a little more than a hotel room with 72,000 daily tourists in Waikiki. On the busiest day we saw maybe 12 people. We could go to all of the tourist places and still come back to ouur own beach everyday.

The Best Family Beach In Oahu
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/02/05
I lived in Kailua for 9 months and this was my favorite beach. Much less crowded than Waikiki or any of the other leeward beaches. There's plenty of grassy space to lounge on and people often set up tents or shelters for cookouts. No way you could do that in Waikiki! Also, the restroom facilities are readily available and clean.
