Kailua is the largest and windiest town on the Windward Coast. The gentle breezes or the bracing winds is in fact the main drawcard for visitors who make the most of the elements by enjoying windsurfing, kitesurfing and kayaking.
Kailua beach is picture perfect, the sands are white, the water is not only a beautiful turquoise; it is calm, gentle and swimming is possible all year round.
Honolulu is only a short drive away but you may find the restaurants, cafes, entertainment and shopping in Kailua will satisfy your retail needs and hunger pains.
