Waikiki Beach
Famous Hawaiian strand
Waikiki Beach is a famous stretch of shoreline in Honolulu, Hawaii, known for its crescent of sand, warm waters, and backdrop of Diamond Head crater.
Once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty, it became an iconic tourist destination in the twentieth century: We spent the afternoon at Waikiki Beach.
The name often evokes tropical vacations, surfing culture, and high-rise hotels lining the shore.
