For generations, Waikı¯kı¯ Beach on O‘ahu has showcased the iconic Hawai‘i. Who can resist a hike up Le¯ ‘ahi (Diamond Head), or sharing a romantic sunset on the world’s most famous beach? But for those who love the urban-ocean mix of O‘ahu, Waikı¯ kı¯ is just the beginning. Hop in your car and treat yourself to a circle island tour. From Waikı¯kı¯, head along the coastline through the laid-back town of Waima¯ nalo to the buzzing beach town of Kailua where you’ll find home-grown menus, chic boutiques and one of the most picture-perfect beaches in the world. Then it’s off to O‘ahu’s famed North Shore, winding past small communities and favorite shore breaks… Ka‘a‘awa, Kahuku, Sunset Beach. Your destination: the surf town of Hale‘iwa. The ocean is mild in the summer, but when winter waves roll in, the town becomes one big party with pro surfers “dressed up” in board shorts and rubber slippers. Beyond surf and sea, you’ll discover historic places with their own stories to tell: Bishop Museum, ‘Iolani Palace, Pearl Harbor. And wherever your travels on O‘ahu lead you, take a few moments to savor the local flavors, from exotic fruits in Chinatown to farm-fresh menus for every taste.
