Standing on Kailua beach, the Mokulua Islands are about half mile off the shore of nearby Lanikai. The I`wa, along with many other birds find sanctuary there on these small islands.

Moku Nui, the island on the left is the only one open as a destination, but you are restricted to only the beach so the seabirds nests aren't harmed.

Moku Iki is off limits except to those with wings.
Kailua Bay is nestled against a two-mile strip of white sand bordered by rocky points. Mokapu Peninsula is to the north and Waimanalo Bay to the south.  Oneawa Beach, Kailua Beach and Kailua Beach Park, a 30-acre park with a large lawn area, shade trees and a wide sand beach are the beaches in the bay. Offshore are "Na Mokulua" bird sanctuaries, commonly known as the "Twin Islands" - larger Moku Nui and tiny Moku Iki.

Enjoy a quiet stroll along the softwhite sand, or enjoy a day of windsurfing, Kayaking and swimming in the beautiful waters protected by an off-shore coral reef.

Kaelepulu Canal flows through the pond, dividing the beach park. Just offshore of Lanikia Pt. is Popoia “Flat” Island, a seabird sanctuary. Mauka of the beach is the Ko'olau Mountain Range that runs down the eastern side of Oahu
