    The ultimate adventure guide

    Kailua Bay, home to Popoia Island, known as Flat Island for short.
    Flat Island is just a quarter mile from the shore.
    A common sight at the Kailua boat ramp ... tourists, kayakers and beachgoers all enjoying island life.
    Paddling out to Flat Island.
    The beach on the west side of the island closest to shore.
    It's an okay sized beach, but it can get real crowded real quick.
    One of the many little coves on Flat Island.
    Tourists walking around the edges of the island. There is no going into the interior due to the protected seabirds.
    A small day at Flat Island.
    Watching some surfers on a small day with the Mokolua Islands in the background.
    One of the small sandy coves dotting the island.
    A six-person outrigger canoe. This same canoe caught waves along the surfers.
    One of the best parts about Kailua is all the islets not far from the shore that people are allowed to recreate on.
    A small surf day at Flat Island.
    Small day but a fun day.
