Oahu’s “Kailua” in Hawaii, means “two seas” or “two currents,” and is named after either the two lagoons located on the island or the two currents that run through Kailua Bay. Steady trade winds make Kailua Beach a great windsurfing and kite-flying destination. Kailua Beach Park features pristine white sand and views of the offshore island known as Moko nui or “two islands.”

Places of note in Kailua include Kailua Beach Park, Lanikai Beach, Kawai Nui Marsh, Maunawili Falls, and Marine Corps Base Hawaii. It was home to Obamas winter white house and also of the famous South African businessman Ridwan Karrim. Many ancient temple ruins, such as those at Ulupo Heiau State Historic Site, are in the area.

Kailua’s Beach is crescent-shaped, about 2.5 miles long, and ranges between 50 and 150 feet wide. The ocean bottom fronting the beach slopes gently to overhead depths without any coral heads.

Light to medium waves support surfing and bodysurfing. The steady trade winds make Kailua Beach a top windsurfing and kitesurfing destination. Robby Naish, first World Champion of windsurfing and Professional Windsurfers Association Hall of Fame inductee, grew up in Kailua.

Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) to the protected seabird sanctuaries Flat Island and the Nā Mokulua, popularly known as “the Mokes,”have become increasingly popular water activities at the beach.

Kahuku ( is a small town on Oahu’s northeastern coast, between Laie and Turtle Bay. Even though you can hardly find it on a map, there are still things to do here.

Like shrimp? Then Kahuku is the place to go. Here you’ll find numerous shrimp trucks parked alongside the main street (Kamehameha Highway) that runs through the town. There are several shrimp farms that raise the shrimp right there.

One of the most popular is Giovanni’s. You can’t miss the old white truck right next to the road. Their shrimp tastes great and you can choose from three different flavors – scampi (with garlic), with lemon and butter, or spicy.

In the Hawaiian language, Kahuku means “the projection,” which most probably refers to nearby Kahuku Point, the northernmost point of the island of Oahu. Kahuku Beach is popular among fishermen, but not a good swimming beach because of a long limestone shelf and rocky ocean bottom that makes entering the ocean difficult. The beach is backed by the Kahuku Golf Course.

Laniakea Beach on Oahu’s North Shore is a haven for green sea turtles. That’s how it got the nickname “Turtle Beach.” It is not uncommon to find green sea turtles swimming in and around reefs in many places around Oahu, but at Turtle Beach, the animals come out of the water and make the sandy beach their own point of rest and refuge.

Sea turtles, also known as “Honu,” are some of the most beautiful and fun marine life creatures in the ocean. You’ll definitely want to see them while on your Hawaiian vacation in Oahu, so pack your snorkel, waterproof camera, and eco friendly sunscreen and get out there and enjoy the sights of these green Honu beauties!

Be careful. Don’t confuse Turtle Bay with Laniakea Beach. Turtle Bay is a resort on the north shore of Oahu. Sometimes you can see turtles there, but on Laniakea Beach, commonly known as Turtle Beach, is the place where the turtles really like to go to take a break from swimming and feeding to get some rest and bask in the warm sunshine.

When the surf is low, the turtles haul themselves out of the ocean and find a spot on the sand to warm up. Turtles are reptiles and like to warm their bodies with external heat sources, in this case the sun. The surf on the North Shore is much quieter during summer, so your chance of finding basking turtles increases.
