Stephen Leatherman, known as America's beach expert, ranked Kailua Beach Park the best beach in America in 1998. The water attracts surfers and bodysurfers to its gentle waves. The beach itself slopes slowly into the water with no coral or rock. The shallow water and slight incline make swimming easy. Take advantage of the regular trade winds and try your hand at wind and kitesurfing here. Use our Kailua holiday planner to arrange your visit to Kailua Beach Park and other attractions in Kailua.

Without a doubt the nicest swimming beach we’ve been to. It’s not as pretty as Lanikai but then the bottom also isn’t covered in little rocks that you can’t see until you stand on them. Kailua also...

Very nice beach and not too crowded. I didn't get in the water but my cousin said it was nice. Prepare to find a parking space. It's a good size but gets full quick. Lot of shade from pine trees. Local people wind surf, parachute surfing, and are quite fun to watch. The city is beautiful to visit and place to eat. We did not eat there because we were on the move quickly.

Beautiful soft white sand and gentle waves on a light trade wind day. Spend the day with friends and family and pack a picnic or a BBQ. Go for a swim out to Flat Island just be careful of sharp coral and your feet. Remember to bring sunscreen and hats. Enjoy watching the East side sunrise and take a walk the bay is about a mile & a half. The moon rise is just as beautiful weather permitting.
