Get in

By car, take the H-1 to Pali Hwy, follow the Pali through the mountains about 12 miles into Kailua town. After the Castle Junction (Kamehameha Hwy.) the name of the road changes to Kalanianiole Hwy., it changes again after Castle Hospital to Kailua Rd, don't let that confuse you.

By bus, take TheBus route 56 or 57 from the beach side city bus stop at Ala Moana Center into Kailua (to get to Ala Moana from Waikiki take route 8, 19, or 20). Wait for the 56 or 57 near the Windward 56/57 sign. One of these buses comes by about every 25 minutes, travel time is approximately 35-50 minutes, the last bus returning to Honolulu is at about 9:30pm.

Get around

To get to Kailua beach take the fork curving off to the right once you get into town, you'll pass a Ford dealership, First Hawaiian Bank, and a Macy's.

At the second stoplight (the first one being between Macy's/Starbucks and Fatboy's/Amina Pizzeria) turn left, go about 1 km, take the fork curving to the right, go past the curve, and you're there.

If you took the bus into Kailua, you can catch Route 70 in front of First Hawaiian Bank or Macy's which goes to the beach, but you might find it faster to walk, the 70 only comes by every 60-90 minutes.
