as the second most beautiful out of all the Oahu Beaches. unfair to rank Kailua Beach as second best, because it is next door neighbor to the most beautiful spot on the island, Lanikai Kailua Beach Park is located on the easterly shoreline, where the ocean waters are as turquoise blue as they get, and equally matched with an amazing soft, white powder sand. Many beach goers on the island, rate Kailua Beach Park number is larger -- two and half miles long to be exact! Kailua Beach Park has actually grown a little larger over the past couple of decades, thanks to many Lanikai real estate beach homes that built sea walls to protect their properties from landThe irony of these efforts was losing their beautiful beachfront sand in the process, which naturally shifted over to Kailua Beach Park. This Oahu Beach, unlike , facilities, beach showers, and picnic tables located on the parkIt’s something worth considering when bringing the
whole family out for the day. I also recommend stopping in downtown Kailua, which is only five minutes away from the beach. This gives you a chance to pick up some Hawaiian plate lunches and or food, snacks and drinks, before heading out to the beachside. Although Kailua Beach Park offers beautiful calm waters to swim around in, there are usually some small waves to play around in You will find a natural sea rock wall that stretches a good hundred yards into the ocean, which help forms some of the rolling waves back towards the shoreline. You will usually find a group of local kids playing around in these waves with their boogie boards. You might want to bring along a boogie board too…if you’re up to riding the waves yourself. Kailua Beach Hawaii is also very popular for kayaking on these You will find many kayak rental shops around downtown Kailua and along the roadside as you head out to the beach.
will also be glad to know that Kailua Beach Park also has a kayak rental facility on the premises.

The Ocean waters here are fairly calm and great to swim and play in. you keep an eye on your children while in the ocean. The Kailua downtown area, is just a few minutes
This town has some great shops and restaurants worth If you are planning coming over first thing in the morning, then I would like to recommend picking up some breakfast at a small restaurant called Boots & Kimos in downtown A must try are their famous macadamia nut pancakes, that comes with a yummy macadamia nut syrup. The lines sometimes can grow long, since there is limited seating. I recommend ordering your food to go, and better enjoy it on the Kailua Beach Park picnic tables. The ambience and view is If you are thirsty and feel like living like a celebrity, than stop in at Lanikai You just might bump into a famous TV or movie star, like from the Lost or Hawaii 5-0 cast. Lanikai Juice is known for healthy juices and unique juice bowls with toppings. I would also recommend visiting the number 1 rated most beautiful beach in the world,The picture says it all! located next door, less than a mile down the road.

But they were not able to scan off my phone/device, Their system is antiquiated so it doesn't read device screens. Other than that, they were nice and the price is worth it. MAKE SURE YOU PRINT A COPY or you'll have to print them at your hotel/condo.
Was this review helpful to you? You may also flag this review. Wait in line to rent equipment to find the guy didnt setup to scan the Oahu card barcode on my phone. Told me to wait so he could service the other ppl in line with cash or cc so waited for another 15 min but he still didn't want to serve me. I called Smart Destination service to talk to him but he refuses to talk to them because he is serving customers so that was not much help at all. what a waste of time! It is on the nice beach. But the old lady with the glasses' reception was mean. Today was the first time i used the Go Oahu card with her booth. I was asking for the umbrella and the chair on the beach. But she said all rent out. But there was 1 umbrella left on the side an whole punch of the chairs by the booth. What i wanted to say is, if you are paying for it, she got everything for you. If you are using the go oahu card. You got nothing, or you just got some whatever you are asking for. Guaranteed won't get them all.
This was a good choice. They are easy to rent from, they just took our name. No problems using the card. I was born and raised on Oahu, but never did surf. Took my first surfing lesson 2 days ago. Karen is a GREAT teacher. She makes you feel comfortable, is easy to talk to, is very patient, and allows for questions. She even reassures you that what you are feeling at the moment is very common and very natural. Karen gave instructions on the sand and had me perform her instructions before going in the water. I was in the water for 5 minutes and she got me catching my first wave. Other staff members are also full of "aloha". Thanks Jon and Tomoko! I'll be back soon. This place was great. I got a boogie board and my husband got a chair. They even carried the chair to any spot on the beach you choose. The workers were friendly and helpful. Took about a minute for the whole transaction. I would definitely recommend. The place is steps to the beach (probably less than 50 feet to the water) and is in a great location to go surfing, boogie boarding, etc.
