## Quick answer

Swimming, bodysurfing, kayaking, stand-up paddling, windsurfing, kiteboarding and picnics.

## Detailed answer

Kailua Beach is a long crescent of sand with a gently sloping sandy bottom and few coral heads, good for swimming and bodysurfing in light waves but limited for snorkeling. Steady trade winds make it a well known windsurfing and kiteboarding spot, usually best in the afternoon. Mornings are calmer for kayaking and stand-up paddling, including trips to Popoia (Flat Island) and Nā Mokulua, which are seabird sanctuaries with landing rules. Rentals are in Kailua town because commercial activity is not allowed in the park.
