It is equipped with an umbrella, beach chairs, beach towels, an outdoor shower, and tiki torches.

Paradise Point Estates is said to have once been inhabited by Hawaiians as far back as 1500AD. The population was small but active, with their main economic activities being farming, hunting, and raising families. This iconic paradise was discovered in the sixteenth century by the kings of Oahu, who subsequently turned it into a social and political gathering spot for Hawaiian royalty. The land thrived from abundant crops like rice, sugarcane, and taro. Parents narrated folklore to their offspring, and the Kailuabeach even inspired the popular Hawaiian parting song “Aloha Òe”.
The vacation resort can be traced back to the mid-19th century, when a New England missionary settled and established a school in Kailua for the local children. Samuel Castle was barely 30, and turned out to have a significant influence on the island and its future. After joining the sugar industry, Castle decided to build an empire that would allow him to acquire the better part of the Kailua Basin, alongside the coveted landmark dubbed Paradise Point.
The heirs of Samuel Castle used the Kaneohe Ranch to raise livestock and advance the family enterprise. Over time, the development of Kailua Town became associated with the Castle name. Today, the beach community at the area is a spectacle of natural wonder. In the evening, you can observe the cooling shadow from Mount Olomana over the Kailua Town and the amazing Kawainui Marshland, which is flooding with wildlife and a beautiful walking trail. Embrace the Aloha spirit of optimism and acceptance through the active community with friendly citizens, magnificent schools, restaurants, and shops.
