About Kailua, Hawaii
Kailua is a bay town on the east side of the island of Oahu. Oahu is one of the smaller Hawaiian Islands comprising 600 square miles of the state of Hawaii’s 6,400 total square miles. Although it is small, Oahu is the clear economic center of Hawaii. The capital of Hawaii, Honolulu, is on Oahu. Oahu is also home to 2/3 of Hawaii’s population – 950,000 of Hawaii’s total population of 1.4 million.
The town of Kailua boasts an amazing three mile stretch of white sand beach and turquoise green water. The land then rises gently briefly before rising sharply into lush green mountains with tall waterfalls.
The beauty of Kailua has made it the vacation place for President Obama when he vacations in Hawaii with his family. Kailua also has a military base just north of the Kailua Bay. Kailua is less than a half hour drive to the state capital, Honolulu, the airport, the University of Hawaii, and world famous Waikiki. Even so, Kailua has a small-town feel in part because the city does not allow large scale hotels.

HOT NEWS Kailua 2017 Best Of KailuaTourism
Kailua Tourism. Kailua is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaiʻi County, Hawaii, United States, in the North Kona District of the Island of Hawaiʻi. The population was 11,975 at the 2010 census. It is the center of commerce and of the tourist industry on West Hawaiʻi. Its post office is designated Kailua-Kona[2] to differentiate it from Kailua located on windward side of Oʻahu island, and it is sometimes referred to as Kona in everyday speech. The city is served by Kona International Airport, located just to the north in the adjacent Kalaoa CDP. Kailua-Kona was the closest major settlement to the epicenter of the 2006 Hawaiʻi earthquake.
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii - Downtown Kona (2018)
Kona is a moku or district on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi in the State of Hawaii. In the current system of administration of Hawaiʻi County, the moku of Kona is divided into North Kona District (Kona ‘Akau) and South Kona District (Kona Hema). The term Kona is sometimes used inaccurately to refer to its largest town, Kailua-Kona. Other towns in Kona include Kealakekua, Keauhou, Holualoa, Hōnaunau and Honalo.
In the Hawaiian language, kona means leeward or dry side of the island, as opposed to ko‘olau which means windward or the wet side of the island. In the times of Ancient Hawaiʻi, Kona was the name of the leeward district on each major island. In Hawai‘i, the Pacific anticyclone provides moist prevailing northeasterly winds to the Hawaiian islands, resulting in rain when the winds contact the windward landmass of the islands – the winds subsequently lose their moisture and travel on to the leeward (or kona) side of the island. When this pattern reverses, it can produce a Kona storm from the west. Kona has cognates with the same meaning in other Polynesian languages. In Tongan, the equivalent cognate would be tonga; for windward, the associated cognate would be tokelau.
Kona is the home of the world-famous Ironman World Championship Triathlon which is held each year in October in Kailua-Kona. The Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park marks the place where Captain James Cook was killed in 1779. Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park and Honokohau Settlement and Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park are in Kona.
The volcanic slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa in the Kona district provide an ideal microclimate for growing coffee. Kona coffee is considered one of the premium specialty coffees of the world.
In pop culture, the region served as the basis of the Beach Boys' song Kona Coast from their 1978 album M.I.U. Album.
Kona is the home of one of the main bases of the international Christian mission organization YWAM, and the University of the Nations, first founded here.

Kailua, Hawaii: Locals Don't Want Tourists Anymore
Kailua, Hawaii has had enough of tourists. It's white sand beaches and laid back vibe draws people from around the world, including President Barack Obama and his family, but residents are tired of tourists.
The Kailua neighborhood board has asked the state tourism agency to stop inviting guests to spend the night in the town. There's an ongoing battle between how much tourism Kailua wants and how much it should allow. An increasing number of tourists have begun to extend their stays and try to experience Kailua like a local.
The neighborhood board is bothered by the successful bed-and-breakfast business and vacation rentals that are leased out for short terms without permits. The board believes places like this take away from Kailua's limited housing supply and lead to inflated costs and natives unable to buy property.
The residents don't like having strangers all around. It doesn't feel like a neighborhood when you don't know the people there, board member Lisa Marten told AP. If there's any sort of safety issue, there's no one to ask for help because you don't know them. Two of the three houses near Marten are vacation rentals. She says that a group of 20-year-olds stayed in one of the houses and did drugs the whole time, including smoking marijuana, which she could smell.

Magic Sands Beach Park and La'aloa Beach Park (Kailua-Kona, Big Island, HI)
Having a look around La'aloa Beach Park / Magic Sands Beach Park. It's in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii!
Magic Sands Beach Park
Address: Ali'i Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740
Hours: Closes 11PM
Public park with white sand beach & rocky shoreline, offering lifeguard-overseen swimming & surfing.
------
Laʻaloa Bay is a popular recreation area in Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.
Also known as Magic Sands or White Sands Beach, the official name is Laʻaloa Beach County Park. During calm weather, it is one of the only fine white sandy beaches in the Kailua-Kona area.
It is also sometimes called Disappearing Sands, since the sand is washed out in a storm several times a year. A strong surf break on the shore can be dangerous, but makes it a favorite for bodyboarding by experienced locals, even under moderate surf conditions.
Just north of the beach is Pahoehoe Beach County Park. Although the shoreline here is rocky lava with a few coral pebbles, there are picnic tables, restrooms, and running water.In the Hawaiian language, la'a loa means very sacred.
Several Archaeological sites are in the area.
The ruins of haukalua Heiau (an Ancient Hawaiian temple) are on a point just south of the beach, at the parking lot which was added in 2000.
The stone structure was cleared and restored and a small ceremonial platform (lele) constructed by descendants of the people who lived in this area for hundreds of years.
A small rocky cove south of the point is popular for scuba diving in calm conditions.
In 1994 after the County of Hawaii announced plans to build an 80 stall parking lot, Hawaiian Kupuna (elders) helped form a group known as the La’aloa Ohana (family). This led to agreements being made to create a Hawaiian Cultural/Educational center in 1995. In June 1995 more than 13 members of the La’aloa Ohana were arrested for attempted camping, even though according to police reports a majority of ohana had left the park, prior to its closing. The ohana continued to advocate for complete Preservation Planning and in 1997 a detailed Community based Preservation Plan was completed. The effect of this Plan was that only 25 parking stalls could be developed. While the County of Hawaii said in the 1997 Environmental Impact Statement that they would install protective measures for the Historic site prior to any construction, in 2000 they built the parking lot, and as of 2014 the Protective measures have yet to be completed.
In August 2014, based on the continued advocacy by La’aloa Ohana members, the State of Hawaii Historic Preservation Division, supported by the Department of Land and Natural Resources Conservation Investigators, forwarded to the Mayor of the County of Hawaii a scathing letter and demand they implement all of the Protective measures, or potentially they could face millions of dollars in fines. In December 2014 the County of Hawaii is currently starting to implement the Preservation Plan. Unfortunately many of the historic sites have now been severely damaged.
Based on the ongoing and tireless efforts of members of the La'aloa Ohana, on May 10, 2017 the County of Hawaii announced it would be closing the parking lot at La'aloa Beach Park on May 17, 2017, indefinitely, due to the ongoing desecration caused by the parking lot. Please visit the La'aloa Beach Park Facebook page for additional information, we look forward to your kokua.
It is located on Aliʻi Drive in the Kona District at coordinates 19°35′38″N 155°58′17″W.
About a mile to the north is Holualoa Bay, and a mile to the south is Kahaluʻu Bay.

Wake Up 2Day - Take 2
Kailua Kona Hawaii
Nestled at the bottom of the Hualalai Volcano, is the main western city of Kailua-Kona. In ancient times, this area was considered the premier place to live due to the excellent weather and good water. Many kings made their homes here. Later, missionaries built churches and residences turning the tiny fishing village into a small seaport.
The main street, Ali'i Drive, runs along the oceanfront through the heart of the city from Kailua Pier to the Kuamo'o Battlefield. This charming town mixes numerous historical sites with modern tourist attractions. Restaurants, shops, and hotels abound. Sunsets viewed from the seawall are almost always spectacular.
Ali'i Drive, Kailua Kona, Hawaii 4K
Please enjoy a mid-morning 45 minute walk down Ali'i drive from the Royal Kona Resort down to the harbor. I stop and take lots of short video clips up and down Ali'i Drive to give you the feel of the town. This video was shot on February 24th, 2017.
Ali'i Drive is the main street in Kailua-Kona on the western side of Island of Hawaii, United States. It is a coastal road, which faces the Bay of Kailua, which is home to many historical sites, resort hotels, souvenir shops, markets and churches.
Ali'i Drive starts from the crossing with Kuakini Highway, just north of Kailua Pier, and ends at Keauhou Shopping Center in Keauhou, with the northern part of the drive being busiest.
At Kailua Pier, passengers from cruise ships come ashore by launches. Along the road are souvenir shops for tourists as well as local businesses, a farmers' market and many resort hotels of varying sizes.
The historical sites are: Ahuena Heiau where King Kamehameha spent his retired life, the Hulihee Palace which was used by the royal family of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Mokuaikaua Church which was the first church in Hawaii, and St. Michael's Catholic Church.

The Hawaiʻi Belt Road is a modern name for the Māmalahoa Highway and consists of Hawaiʻi State Highways 11, 19, and 190 that encircles the Island of Hawaiʻi. The southern section, between Hilo and Kailua-Kona is numbered as State Highway 11. The section between Hilo and Waimea is State Highway 19. Between Waimea and Kailua-Kona, the road is split in two: the original mauka route (now State Highway 190) and a makai route 19, completed in 1975, which serves as access to the Kona and Kohala Coast resorts. (In the Hawaiian language, mauka means towards the mountain and makai means towards the sea. These terms are commonly used in travel directions.)
Parts of the southern half of the Hawaiʻi Belt Road were known during the Territorial days as the Kaʻū Belt Road. The names Hawaiʻi Belt Road and Māmalahoa Highway refer to the road system that encircles the entire island; many sections are also referenced by local names. (wikipedia)

Oahu-Things to do: Kailua Beach, Polynesian Culture Center, Temple and Tacos
Made a few stops on our way to the Polynesian Culture Center. Kailua Beach was about a 25-35 minute drive from Waikiki. The drive to get there was half the fun, on the way you get to tour the mountains, go through tunnels, and take advantage of a great scenic way point at the Pali lookout.
I highly recommend purchasing the Ambassador package at the Polynesian Cultural Center. That way you see all the countries/shows and participate in all the hands on activities they offer. We didn't get to do everything before they closed (12pm-5:30pm hours)
