Highlights of this town include Kailua Beach Park, Lanikai Beach, Kawai Nui Marsh, and the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Kailuaâs legends include the Menehune, who are believed to have fished in Kaiwainui Marsh and built temples (heiau). Also a part of the history are the moâo, guardian gecko spirits that reside in fish ponds, of which there are many in Kailua. Previous visitors to Kailua include Elvis and President Obama, likely for the privacy and serenity of this seaside area.
Things To Do
Boogie boarding, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, windsurfing, and surfing are some of the activities in Kailua. Both Kailua Beach Park and Lanikai Beach are world famous; Kailua Beach Park was named Americaâs Best Beach in 1998 (upon achieving this accolade, the beach is then âretiredâ from future considerations).
Both beaches are noteworthy for their atmosphere, scenic beauty, and plentiful water sports opportunities. Lanikai Beach does not offer restrooms, showers, water fountains, lifeguards, handicap parking, or ramps, so for a longer day at the beach, opt for Kailua Beach Park. The Twin Islands, Moku Nui and Moku Iki, are seabird sanctuaries near Kailua Beach Park, great for kayaking and are visible from the beach. Kawai Nui Marsh is the largest wetlands area in Hawaii and is a Ramsar Convention nomination site (organization that recognizes wetlands for their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value). Eat and Shop A myriad of eateries in Kailua appeal to all tastesâ"Indian, Italian, pizza, bakeries, Thai, Sushi, steakhouses, barbecue, crepes, tropical juices, Portuguese sweets, Moroccan, Vietnamese, and more. Many restaurants offer plate lunches and meals that are ideal to enjoy for a day at the beach. Wally Amos, Famous Amos, is often found at his store, Chip & Cookie, where he does book events. Two Thursday Farmersâ Markets also offer plenty of good eats and local items. Everything from necessities to souvenirs to luxury items are available as Kailua has convenience stores, locally-owned shops, grocery and health food stores, pharmacies, apparel and department stores, and sports shops. Getting Around TheBus is an affordable, scenic way to get around Kailua. Bicycles are okay to bring on board, but not surfboards. TheBus stops at Lanikai and Kailua beaches, and Ala Moana Center, among others. Taxis are available as are rental cars. .
