## Quick answer

Take H-1 to the Pali Highway (Route 61), then Kailua Road to the beach.

## Detailed answer

From Waikīkī, take the H-1 freeway west toward downtown and exit onto the Pali Highway (Route 61). The highway crosses the Koʻolau Range through the Nuʻuanu Pali tunnels and continues into Kailua as Kailua Road. Follow Kailua Road toward the ocean, and near Kalapawai Market follow Kawailoa Road to the park at 526 Kawailoa Rd. Traffic varies, so allow extra time on weekends.
