Kailua Beach has an almost legendary status in Hawaii. Of course, growing up there, I had no inkling that Kailua Beach was anything special. Didn't everybody on Oahu enjoy a long crescent of silky soft sand, calm turquoise water, and a laid-back local vibe? Oh, the things we take for granted! It's literally Hawaii postcard perfection. Here's my view every morning during my daily run.
I imagine that Kailua is like Waikiki before the hotels. It never gets boring.
Visiting Oahu? Be sure to visit "my" beach!
