The entire experience was so much fun from start to finish--beautiful scenery, great pacing, and just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. Morgan was incredibly informative throughout the tour, sharing interesting facts about the area, local wildlife, and history in a way that kept everyone engaged. One of the highlights was kayaking out to Popoiʻa Island (Flat Island), which was absolutely beautiful. Morgan did an excellent job helping us navigate the waters both going out and coming back, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident the entire time. Honestly, Morgan was the best guide we could have asked for--friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and just all-around awesome. We felt safe, well taken care of, and had such a great time. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Morgan as your guide!

Kailua beaches are just so beautiful and this one doesn't quite show it's glory until you walk the short path...tadaaaaahhhh! Yes there is a path which most are paved until you get to the bathroom/shower area then it's all sand and which I think is a great spot to just walk and take in the view. Wide open beach with views as long as your eyes can see it's all beautiful and something that you just need to experience for yourself, I wasn't dressed properly as this was just a random visit though since I was in the area I just though to give it a try and am so glad I did, very quite and peaceful place to relax and enjoy what we here in Hawai'i are so blessed to have. Thank you!

Amy M. and I had never seen the movie. I think now, we will - since we visited the beach where part of the movie was filmed. We parked up at the top where the Halona Blow Hole parking lot is. You can see Sandy Beach from this parking lot/Lookout, as well as the as The Blow Hole and Eternity Beach. The view is awesome! To get to Eternity Beach, you'd have to be careful and walk down a rocky incline. Amy and I were just happy to be together and enjoy the scenery and cool breeze! The beach itself looks safe. There were many people hanging out and a few were swimming in the clear, clean water! I would return again to show Hawaii's natural beauty to another friend or visitor to Oahu. It's an excellent vacation destination!

The jellyfish don't know that Bellows is a semi private beach that requires military ID access to get onto. They are just there like they are there at Kailua, Kalama, Lanikai, and Waimanalo beaches. Going on a Sunday, the beach was not very crowded. We got there around 1100 and there was still parking available in the main parking lot. Not sure why another reviewer complained about no public shower as there is one right at the point where the parking lot ends and the beach begins, right next to the public restroom building. We brought our two dogs and kept them leashed the entire time. I brought our own dog water bowl but recognized it was too small and our dogs kept knocking them over so I walked to the shoppette and was able to purchase a much larger silicone dog dish for their water. Afterwards, we stopped at the reservation building where we sat on the covered deck and had some chicken and french fries as well as some cold drinks. These are all amenities you won't find at Kailua, Lanikai, or Kalama Beach Parks. Nothing but pros and no cons. The best part is, it is o ly about 20 minutes from where we live in Kaneohe. Will go again.

There is a shoppette,gas station, laundromat, showers, coffee shop, mwr (to rent out boogie boards and other stuff). Just take a look on their website to see what they have to offer and the prices. There is a section that has no ground disturbance and yet people still put up tents and umbrellas, I suggest you just follow the rules and just go down a bit more where you are allowed to dig into the sand.

Yesterday, I "found" a "new" beach!…read more How I got there: As a volunteer for the Kailua Beach Clean-up, in celebration of Earth Day, there were several buses that drove volunteers to sites along the Kailua coastline. If I drove there myself, I would turn left at Kalapawai Market on North Kalaheo Avenue, instead of turning right to Kailua Beach. After passing Kalama Beach, I'd park at the residential area on or near Kailauana Place and Kailuana Loop, then walk to the sign at the entrance to the access road. The sign reads, "Kailuana Brow". The word, "brow", refers to an entryway. It was a flat, relatively easy walk along a sandy pathway that opened up into a clean, white, soft-sanded beach with a steady, cool breeze. It was so beautiful, that I may just have to return! It seemed to stretch out to forever... Notes: there are no facilities (restroom, shower, picnic benches/tables, lifeguard, etc.). It's just an open, natural space for all to enjoy! There weren't many people there - so unlike Waikiki Beach! Lucky we live Hawaii!
