Park your car then walk to the break accross the beach. Good Boogie Board spot and surfing when it is over 3'.

Mellow atmosphere, this is a good place for tourists to surf and have a good time with the family. Other spots may be better,but Horners is cool and probably won't kill you.
General
Cool family beach and relatively safe. There have been reports of sharks, but no bites....

Horners - Dont listen to the moron below whos caps key is broken...I grew up at Wailua beach (since 72), since the loss of the inside reef (hurricanes), the inside break is pretty much gone, was alot of fun back in the day. But now, with the right swell, outside Horners (few hundred yards out)is capable of double overhead, ussually nice close out rights, with short capable lefts.. but not very often.
