Truly, Waikiki Beach isn’t just a beach - it has 8 different sections, and could very well be called “Waikiki Beaches”. No matter what you like to do, there are plenty of activities for old and young alike. Dive into the water with your trusty surfboard and sail the waves or try your hand at canoe paddling. Eager to explore the life below the surface? Snorkeling is a popular activity here, along with boogie boarding. This is where Duke Kahanamoku, the legendary Hawaiian surfer and Olympic gold medalist, grew up and learned to surf.

If you’d much rather avoid pruned fingers and toes, then you can stick around on the beach for some good old sand combing and bask in the heat of the sun (in the hopes of achieving that perfect golden tan). You could also head on to the beach volleyball courts to enjoy an exhilarating game of beach volleyball with your friends, or have a scrumptious picnic by the shade of the palm trees. If you’d prefer to be in the shade indoors, Waikiki offers a different kind of fun in the form of an aquarium and the Honolulu Zoo. When the sun starts to set, stick around to watch the golden blaze sinking into the horizon. Quick, get your cameras ready! If you stick around after dark, then you get to experience the vibrant nightlife and move to the rhythm of live music. With so much to do and see, you’ll never run out of things to do here!
