Paddling a kayak is a good way to leave the world behind and work off some stress. Kailua Beach was made for paddling: The shore is within paddling distance of the tiny Mokulua Islands. Called “The Mokes” by locals, these islands are designated bird sanctuaries that harbor a host of intriguing seabirds, including wedge-tailed shearwaters and brown boobies, and green sea turtles! And that's just O'ahu... Kauai has beautiful kayaking too!!!!
