My favorite spot on Kailua Beach to go body surfing or body boarding on a decent surf day. This park has a small parking lot and fills up quickly. Best to go early. Bathrooms and outdoor showers are provided to beach goers.

Shopping
A small mall located on the windward side, away from most tourists. They have a recently renovated food court that included local kind grinds as well as mainland standards. If it's raining, this is a decent place to take the kids.
