Waikiki Beach
Central Waikiki, walking distance from hotelsBeachSurfingScenicFamily Fun
The world's most famous beach needs no introduction. The 2-mile crescent of golden sand is perpetually buzzing with surf lessons, outrigger canoe rides, catamaran charters, and barefoot walks. The gentle waves at Canoes break are perfect for beginner surfers, and the beachfront scene — live Hawaiian music, street performers, the Duke statue — is pure Oahu.
Tip: Book a beginner surf lesson with a beach boy from one of the stands near the Moana Surfrider — they've been teaching visitors to surf since the 1920s. Best at sunrise before the crowds arrive.
