Visitor Reviews of Kailua Beach

“Pay attention, this is coming from a person who has lived at the beach for 15 years. My deck is across the street from the bathroom/beach area. I can see everything. There is no surf ever. There can be big nasty waves during a storm but they are not surfable. Nobody is outside playing then anyway. The beach is perfect for the elderly, children, handicapped, weak and infirm. Calm, no rocks, perfect swimming area. There are no swells, perfect for even infants to splash. The bottom is sand and gets deeper gradually. Wonderful sand beach that opens to a beautiful park with acres of beautiful green lawn. Perfect Hawaii. It is a very popular area and crowds are usually heavy. Weekends are nearly impossible. There are no accommodations close except air B and B if you can get it. Eating is limited but there is a sandwich deli and pizza place walking close. There is much more GOOD food available driving very close or walking a little far close. Kailua Beach is a world class wind and kite surfing beach. This is the surf draw. Consistent, perfect winds. Kailua Beach is a perfect spot for a tourist to visit, beautiful Hawaii. Luv it on a daily basis.”
