Kaneohe Bay is the largest sheltered body of water in Hawaii, located on Oahu's windward coast. The bay's extensive reef system, sand flats, and seagrass beds create ideal habitat for nearshore species.

Bonefish (oio) are the premier fly-fishing target, with Kaneohe Bay offering some of the best bonefishing in the main Hawaiian islands. Small trevally (papio) provide exciting light-tackle action around the reef edges. The bay's calm, protected waters make it ideal for kayak fishing. Heeia Kea Boat Harbor provides the primary launch access.
