Surfing

Ocean playground O‘AHU

▶It is one of the world’s most famous beaches for a reason. While the 3.2-kilometre stretch of sand of Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, on O‘ahu’s south shore, is irresistible, it is the turquoise-blue water of the crescentshaped bay that attracts over four million visitors annually. The yearround calm waters are safe for even the smallest of beachgoers (with no dangerous undertows or rogue waves in the reef-sheltered bay) and long, gently rolling waves entice surfers of all levels. Make like a local and indulge in just about every kind of activity, from surfing, stand-up paddleboarding and outrigger canoeing to swimming or simply lazing on the sand. You will see exactly what makes Waikiki so popular.
