On
Kailua’s
south-east
side,
at
Waimānalo,
sits
the
Bellows
Air
Field
Station,
a
military
reservation
that
served
as
a
key
airfield
during
World
War
II.
The
last
runways
were
closed
in
the
1950s,
and
the
station
is
now
used
for
training
and
recreation.
The
park
is
open
to
the
public
on
weekends
and
warrants
the
short
trip
from
Kailua
if
you’d
like
to
relax
on
a
long,
wide
and
soft
sandy
beach
with
low-ish
waves.
There
is
a
shallow
sandbar
here
for
body
surfing
and
bodyboarding
breaks,
and
partly
because
of
the
prevailing
trade
winds
there’s
a
curious
array
of
wildlife.
Portuguese
man
o’
wars
are
blown
ashore
here
(9
to
12
days
after
a
full
moon),
and
provide
a
meal
for
little
sand
bubbler
crabs,
which
burrow
on
the
water’s
edge.
If
you’d
like
to
stay
overnight,
camping
permits
are
issued
by
the
City
and
County
of
Honolulu.
