Kailua Beach Park

Fave beach on the island is Lanikai, but given how small it is and how limited the parking is (due to parking not being allowed in the neighborhood), Kailua Beach Park is probably a close second! I've been here a few times over the years and always enjoy it. It can get crowded on weekends but we were able to find parking not too far away. Week days are less crowded as expected. Even when there are a lot of people, it doesn't feel overly crowded since the beach area is fairly long. White, super soft sand and fairly calm waves (in my experience)... all in all, a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy the views. :)

What a beautiful beach and it's great watching the water sports going on.Beautiful, soft sand. Shade and sun readily available.Bathrooms available and right on the bus route.

Great alternative to my favorite beach Lanikai. When parking is tough at Lanikai this is the best alternative. You still get turquoise clear waters, soft sand and chill aloha vibes. They have a large parking lot although it does get busy during peak days and times. They have restrooms and showers too. If you would prefer to relax without hitting the sand there is a grassy area with tables and palm trees with views of the beach. I saw that they have canoeing there although we didn't try but it looked like they rent.

Beautiful beach and beach park. Easy parking options. Scenic views. Always pleasant weather.

Kailua Beach and Park is an amazingly beautiful beach off the beaten path. The sand is white and clean and the water is a beautiful shade of turquoise. There are reefs to snorkel and the water is relatively shallow. Several small islands are visible from the beach. Spectacular views of the Hawaiian mountains face inland. I sat on the beach with my family for a long peaceful visit. The beach is long so it is not crowded. The sand is perfect for kids to play. A lifeguard is in duty. Palm tree covered grassy area is available for picnicking or playing ball. There are restroom facilities (but bring your own soap and towel) and shower stations. There is plenty of parking including handicap parking and sidewalks that lead to the beach. Kayaks are available for renting, but we did not try. Bring beach blanket, beach chairs, water, sunscreen, hat, and sand toys.

One of the white sands, less crowded, mild waves, restroom accommodating beach parks I've visited on Oahu, and I'm a local. I can bask under the sun on a beach chair or float in the water with little care of being harassed by vendors or other patrons. A nice day at the beach & getting my vitamin D!

Ample parking, soft white sand, and amazing views. This has to be my favorite beach on the island aside from the many tourist.

Spent a day here. I think I've been here many times. Grew up on Oahu and now living on the mainland. I visit now and then to see family and friends. I finally had the chance to have my boyfriend love this beach. He loves fishing by the rocks. He caught a lot of those rainbow parrot fishes but released them anyway. He just loves to look at fishes up close then let them go. He is a fisherman and does it on a regular basis. Not an amateur. So I can say it's one of his favorite spots to go fishing if you are thinking of shoreline fishing. I stay under a tree and watch him do his thing. It is a full beach and lots of people on weekends. The waves are pretty average. I think it's a kid friendly beach. Waves are not too crazy for children but it is advisable that you keep a close eye on your children. It's a wonderful place for picnics and a get together with family.

My favorite beach on Oahu, this park has it all! Clean turquoise blue waters, large white sand beach, breathtaking views, free parking, and even a convenient boat launch. There are a few picnic tables too. I could spend an entire week here and not be bored. I didn't use the restroom here but saw one onsite.

Great beach, clean with super smooth small grain sand. Beautiful clear calm turquoise water. Wondering place for the kids or just ti spend the day. Picnic benches available just before you enter the beach. The birds can be problematic, they'll come right up onto the table and grab your food if you don't pay attention.Parking is limited but we got there early so we didn't have a problem. The bathrooms could be a little better.
