About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated near the bustling junction of Kailua Road and Hamakua Drive on Windward Oahu, 767 Kailua Rd Parking serves as an accessible open-air surface parking facility serving Kailua\'s vibrant commercial core. The lot features an organized single-level asphalt surface with clear stall striping, providing seamless drive-in convenience for visitors exploring local boutiques, professional offices, and dining venues. Because the facility is an outdoor surface lot without an overhead canopy or multi-level ceiling deck, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance, making it an excellent choice for lifted trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, commercial utility vans, and vehicles outfitted with rooftop surfboard racks or kayak mounts.

Drivers are advised to arrive early during peak breakfast and brunch windows (between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM) to secure prime spaces.
