What is the best route to take from Kailua to the North Shore?|140152

I will be staying in Kailua and was wondering if it would be better to take 83 or to drive up the middle of the island to the North Shore. I really want to stop in Haleiwa and Waimea Bay Beach Park. Also, how long would the trip take and what day or time is better to avoid traffic? Thanks!

Yes, you want to take route 83 (even though there are different routes for the same stretch of road, we just call it Kam Highway).

Anyway, it_s a two way street once you get into Kahaluu from Kailua, so you just follow the road and after about an hour or so you_ll see that famous Haleiwa sign.

You_ll be going against traffic during the morning, so morning is best. But once you get into Haleiwa it may be a bit slow.

yes! go around the island from Kailua to Wiamanalo, Kaneohe, Kaaawa, Laie, Kahuku to Waimea then on to Haleiwa.... about 1 hour ride along the shore. nice

hop on Kamehameha Hwy. it will take you all the way down. about 45 mins or so.
