Kailua follows the state juvenile curfew under HRS Sec. 577-16, which bars children under 16 from public places between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. without a parent or guardian.
Honolulu has not enacted a separate county juvenile curfew, so state law HRS Sec. 577-16 applies in Kailua. Children under 16 are prohibited from loitering in public streets, parks, and other public places between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. HRS Sec. 577-21 permits counties to supersede the statute with their own ordinance, but Honolulu has not. Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach, and Kailua Town commercial areas are common enforcement zones, especially during summer and surf events.
Violations can result in citations for the minor and potential parental liability for repeat offenses.
