Soak up Hawaii’s island charm while relaxing on the sandy shores of Waikiki Beach. Located on the south shore of Honolulu, the beach borders the well-known neighborhood of Waikiki, once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Known for its pristine white sand, bathtub temperatures, and spectacular views of the Diamond Head tuff cone, the beach serves as a popular place for watersports and sunbathing year-round. Try your hand at riding the waves with a surf lesson, or take a stroll along the boardwalk, where you will find a variety of oceanside dining options and street vendors.

Sure it's crowded with tourists, but it's a great beach. The water is nice year round and the surrounding area is loaded with shops and restaurants.

One of the most well known beaches in the world. That tourist from all around the world come to visit for it's soft sand and crystal clear water and Panoramic views of Diamond Head,shops and restaurants all within a walking distance. This is a must stop beach when visiting Oahu. I hope this helps you out and have a great day.

Great place for surfing at all times of day! The beach is always crowded but it’s to be expected considering all of the hotels around. And the sunsets here are amazing!
