The Honolulu City Council voted 7 to 2 approving a ban on all commercial activity at Kailua Beach Park and Kalama Beach Park. Residents had complained that the once tranquil beaches had become overrun by commercial vendors who brought in kayakers, kite boarders, and busloads of tourists. The ban will be in place 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
It should be note that the ban does not stop people from renting kayaks, kite boards or other recreation equipment and using them at these beach parks. It only stops businesses from operating at Kailua and Kalama Beach and dropping off their customers with their equipment there. Still, most Kailua residents are pleased with the ban and feel that it will dramatically reduce the number of tourists using the beach park.
