About Kailua Kailua is a charming beach town on Oahu’s Windward side. While it’s no longer the small coastal town it once was, it has retained that small town feel with its close-knit community, bustling town center and plethora of small, locally-owned and family-run businesses. Big name stores like Whole Foods, Safeway, Starbucks and Macy’s are sprinkled throughout Kailua’s shopping centers as well, ensuring residents can find almost anything they need right here. There are a number of neighborhood parks, a community rec center, YMCA, public and private schools, churches, youth sports leagues, and other organizations that allow residents of all ages to get connected.
The Windward side gets rainfall throughout the year, keeping the landscape green and lush, and Kailua enjoys cooling trade winds blowing off of the ocean, which keeps temperatures comfortable year-round. In addition, Kailua enjoys incredibly beautiful natural surroundings. It’s home to world-famous Kailua and Lanikai Beaches, with their soft white sand and turquoise blue waters. Residents take great pride in the fact that these beautiful beaches are right in their backyard and they take full advantage of them. Outrigger canoe clubs, surfers and paddleboarders, swimmers, windsurfers and kiteboarders hit Kailua’s beaches every day, in addition to those simply enjoying the natural beauty while sunbathing and strolling along the water’s edge. Kailua also enjoys panoramic views of Mount Olomana and the Koolau Mountain Range rising behind it.
