Very touristy but also a lot of fun. Great restaurants and bars. One of the liveliest places on Oahu. As a visitor this will probably be your main place to stay on the island.
This was an awesome beach. They have a section where the warm clean sea water is only waist height for 60 yards into it. Seems to have decent surf and everything you need near by as well.
Sunsets are amazing -get a spot with a trop drink in hand well before the sun goes down. You won't be disappointed! Daytime snorkeling is great in the smooth waters, & the people-watching is fun too!
Life's a beach, why not make it Waikiki? The Surfing, Sunning, and world class Shopping make the Waikiki neighborhood a great place to live. Why wait any longer...
