For those of you who are unaware of this tropical paradise, Waikiki, Hawaii features a 2-mile sweep of sun-kissed surf and Waikiki shore lying below Diamond Head and is one of the most tourist-friendly areas on all the Hawaiian Islands.
Many fantastic hotels command great positions on the beach including the Sheraton Waikiki. This Waikiki Beach hotel and many other prominent Waikiki accommodations along this pristine beach put you in the middle of all the action and close to many attractions, shops and restaurants. If you prefer something more casual, there are many Waikiki vacation rentals also in close proximity to this legendary beach.
Beautiful weather year-round Despite its development as a great place for a vacation, Waikiki still retains its small town charm through amazingly consistent weather. Sunny days find hordes of surfers rule the waters offshore. Cool ocean breezes make a walk on the winding paths along Kalakaua Avenue a real treat and picnics on Beachside Kapiolani Park are a great way to escape the typical Waikiki resort activities.
Low-cost adventures A quick peek at a map of Waikiki will help you fill your itinerary with many interesting experiences along this collection of ocean resorts, many of them absolutely free. One of these free activities that should not be missed is a walk along Kalakaua Avenue, where you can pose next to the statue of the "father" of modern surfing, Duke Kahanamoku, digest a little history from surfboad signs along the wide sidewalk that leads to Honolulu Zoo and Kapiolani Park.
With so much to offer, it is clear why Waikiki is one of the world's favorite vacation destinations.
