waikiki beachWaikiki, a neighborhood of Honolulu, is one of the most famous beaches in the world. Located on the sunny island of Oahu, Waikiki Beach is famous for its amazing views of Diamond Head, a dormant volcano.

Waikiki Beach is also known for its moderate waves which are ideal for beginner surfers. Surfboards and gears rental are also available around the beach.

As the center of the tourist industry in Hawaii, Waikiki enriches with luxurious and first class resort hotels like Hilton Hawaiian Village, Sheraton Waikiki, Halekulani hotel, Moana Surfrider Hotel, Outrigger Hawaii and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The famous Kalakaua Avenue, which runs parallel to the beach, offers a shoppers paradise with nice stores for attractive window shopping and souvenirs shopping. Numerous fine restaurants and nightly entertainment are spread around the coastal area. Famous dining places such as Duke’s Canoe Club and the Surf Room. But my choice would be having a romantic dinner while watching the sun set over at the beautiful and amazing Pacific Ocean. Other wonderful activities while on Waikiki include kayaking, swimming, and outrigger canoeing.

These are some of my personal destination recommendation in Waikiki : Fort de Russy Military Reservation, Kapiolani Park, Ali Wai Harbor, Kahanamoku Lagoon, and Kuhio Beach Park.
