With its golden sands and dazzling turquoise water, countless visitors trek to this stunning locale year-round for sunbathing, surfing and kayaking. Flanked by the soaring cliffs of the Koolau Mountains, Kailua’s incredible beauty attracts everyone from Hawaiian royalty and U.S. presidents to celebrities like Beyonce and Jay Z. Beyond the gorgeous beaches, lush hiking trails and walking paths appeal to outdoorsy adventurers. The 800-acre-plus Kawai Nui Marsh is Hawaii's largest remaining emergent wetland and home to endangered waterbirds like the nene (Hawaiian goose). It includes a 3-mile walking path that meanders through the wetland, starting from the Kawai Nui Neighborhood Park.
