Waikiki Beach, Oahu
Waikiki Beach (see more photos) on the island of Oahu is Hawaii’s most popular and visited beach. It is located on the southern part of the island next to Diamond Head. The beach is two miles long and across from it on the other side of the street you’ll find many hotels, restaurants, gift shops and beach bars. At the eastern side of the beach, right at the foothills of Diamond Head, there is a large and beautiful oceanfront park called Kapiolani Park.
If you like watersports you will be able to rent all kinds of equipment on the beach. Some of the most popular things to do in the ocean at Waikiki Beach are surfing, bodyboarding, parasailing, snorkeling and canoe riding. The beach has showers, restrooms and phones all over. During the summer the surf is high, so if you are not sure about the water conditions, ask the lifeguards.
Waikiki Beach is usually crowded, but if you don’t mind the crowds, Waikiki Beach is a true paradise. In the evening hours, there is music entertainment at the numerous beach bars and restaurants. During the weekends, you are welcome to join a movie festival right on the beach. It is presented on a big screen near Kapiolani Park. If you like picnics, go to the eastern side of the beach where Kapiolani Park is. There you will find all necessary picnic facilities.
