Upscale Kailua is the most easily accessed town on the windward side. It has two of Oahu's best beaches as well as great shopping and dining opportunities in its central core. You could easily spend a day visiting the stunning beaches, kayaking, exploring a hidden heiau (shrine), picnicking, or dining out with locals.
