Visitor & Driver Tips

Kailua is a popular destination seven days a week, particularly during morning breakfast hours and sunny weekend afternoons. Plan to arrive early if you are heading to brunch or pairing your visit with beach activities. Be sure to note your license plate number before approaching the automated pay station, as most municipal and commercial lots in the district utilize pay-by-plate digital enforcement. Always secure your vehicle, roll up windows, and remove personal belongings or beach gear out of sight before heading into town.
