Kailua is a quintessential beach town with a laid back community feel. We are surrounded by two gorgeous beaches and steady onshore trade winds that makes Kailua great spot for windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, whale watching and other water related activities. We are best known for our long and sandy beaches which are considered among the most beautiful in the world. As you can sense, life here revolves around the beach.

Kailua is only 12 miles northeast of Waikiki, but the lifestyle here is anything but urban. Once you cross over the Nuʻuanu Pali and emerge out of the tunnels, be prepared for sunny skies, gorgeous greenery, the softest powder white sand beaches, cool ocean breezes and an endless expanse of blue-green ocean.

The heart of Kailua town is just a few minutes walk away and you’ll find lots to explore from cute boutique shops and restaurants, bars and local breweries to all your essential needs and then there are the ocean activity stores where you can purchase or rent snorkel equipment, kayaks, and other essential gear for fun in the surf and sun. We are a super friendly and laid-back town so feel free to say hello to all the local passer-bys. Kailua claims a healthy scattering of locally owned shops and eateries plus there’s an open market every Thursday evening and another two unique markets every Sunday morning.
