ONE CAN NOT BUT JUST BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE BEAUTY OF KAILUA BEACH.... !!!!! In 1998, Kailua Beach Park was named "America’s Best Beach" by coastal expert Doctor Stephen Leatherman and then "retired" from subsequent consideration. As one Kailua resident noted in ALOHA Magazine, "If I feel stressed out, boom, in three minutes I can be at the beach and rigging up my sailboard. Even if you’re not at the beach, it’s never far away. It’s in the air, you can smell it." Leave a Comment Directions: % A FEW MILES FROM KAILUA ..

Climbing Mount Olomana is one of the best short hikes on all of Oahu, but I'm putting it on my Kailua page because the only people we met on the hike were all from the Windward side, so it's apparently not of interest to the mainstream Oahu visitor. Good news for you if you like hiking and you've stumbled on to this tip. The hike is 3 hours round-trip, and starts after the gate at Luana Hills golf course. After a gradual decent through forest, you start finding that you'll need to use the ropes (already there) to hoist yourself over rock formations or up rock cascades. It'sreally quite fun, though if you don't like heights you may cringe at some of the exposed rock scrambles and narrow knife-edged ridges near the top. However, the views are excellent -- a 360-degree look at the Windward side! By the way, this hike was actually written up in the New York Times, so don't only go based on my recommendation.

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN THE WORLD!!!!! A GREA T PLACE TO ENJOY HEAVEN ON EARTH. .EVERYTHING FROM EATING A PICNIC ON THE BEAUTIFUL GRASSY AREAS TO WINDSURFING ON THE BEST WAVES !!! !!!!! !!!!!!!.. Kailua is first and foremost a beach community. In fact, the steady onshore trade winds makes Kailua Beach one the world’s preeminent windsurfing destinations. Leave a Comment Directions: ABOUT 10 MINTES FROM TOWN.. ALSO TAKE THE # 70 BUS FROM KALIUA..BUT BE PATIENT IT ONLY RUNS ON THE WEEKDAYS EVERY HOUR!!!

 A rainbow to a Mokolua by AKtravelers When you're in Kailua, you have the choice of two beaches that are rates #1 in different publications as the best beach in America. As of this writing, I favor Lanikai Beach, which is just south of Kailua beach and used to be connected. There's less sand but the view of the Mokolua's really takes our breath away. If you've seen pictures of bathing suit models whiling away the time with islands off the coast, chances are you're looking at Lanikai Beach. The sand is the softest, whitest around and the surf is virtually nonexistent. ...Kailua Beach offers slightly rougher sand but a playful body surfing are near Kalama Beach park. It's wider, longer and less crowded than Lanikai, and you're less likely to get a parking ticket. Kailua Beach is where the Obama family chose to spend their Christmas right before their inauguration, so it stands up pretty well to most competition. If you have a chance visit both of these jewels. Leave a Comment

 The Na Moku lua Islands off the Beach by GuthrieColin, 1 more photos Lanikai is one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. Many beach ratings have confirmed that opinion. The beach is less crowded than many other beaches since it is located in a residential neighborhood. Many choose to explore the area by kayak or snorkeling. The beach is perhaps most well known for the two Mokolua islands that are located just 1 mile away from the shore. These islands are probably what all the kayaking is all about. They are bird sanctuaries though and access may not be permitted. Leave a Comment

 Mokalua Islands in the Distance by AlexisElizabeth There are a couple of islands off the coast of Kailua called the Mokalua Isles. You can rent a one- or two-person sea kayak right by the beach. It takes quite a while to get out to the islands, but the journey is so beautiful (and good excercise). We saw many sea turtles on the way. Once you get to the islands, you can take a break, sunbathe, eat lunch, etc. until you are ready to head back to shore. It was a very rewarding adventure. Directions: There are shops near the beach that rent out kayaks for reasonable prices.

by AlexisElizabeth The beaches here are gorgeous and not as extremely crouded as Honolulu. Kite Surfing, now a popular sport worldwide, originated in Kailua. The windy nature of the shores are perfect for this activity. Learning is a bit difficult...taking a lesson might be a good idea. If you can get over the frustration of falling and having to reset your kite each time when you first try it, you can do some amazing things on the waves (jumps etc.) when you get the hang of it. Directions: Kailua Beach

This is the view from the yard of my house in the Maunawili section of Kaiklua. Normally, I never saw waterfalls, but after an especially heavy rains they magically appeared! In fact, you can usually count on waterfalls after heavyu rains, but you have to be lucky enough to have the clouds lift to see them. Drive to Maunawili or through the tunnels on the H3 tyhe next time you get a heavy, persistent rain that covers the entire island and you'll be stunned! I estimate this happens about 5 times a year, so you have to be lucky. Leave a Comment

by jankenpon Good 40 minute to an hour (depends on your level of fitness, if your in a hurry etc) hike/climb to get to the top....the first peak anyway, there are three in all, can you get to all three? Don't forget your Camera and some water! Address: Olomana Mountain, Maunawili, KailuaDirections: Go to Maunawili community take the first left that parrallels Pali hwy/H2. The main trailhead is on the road to the Olomana Links Golf Course. You'll have to park ahead of the gate house that won't let you drive in, but hikers on foot are permitted
