While the view of Diamond Head is amazing, this is not much of a beach. Make sure you bring your water shoes. Once you enter the water, you have rocks and big rocks. There is no sand in the water. The water is pretty to see, but there is so little place to lay out, you are really forced to... More

You can't improve on perfection...Gorgeous views, gorgeous water, loved it...Can't wait to go back!

Waikiki Beach has it all, sun, surf, snorkeling, sand and right across the street from shops, hotels, restaurants and an occasional homeless person.
