Maybe more beautiful than the beaches we visited in Brazil. We went back for our 3rd trip this past Sept. Waikiki is definitely in our top 5 beaches which include Kailua beach in Oahu as well. One would think that Waikiki is the only beach on the island judging by the crowds, though. There are plenty of places to lay out but if youre not there by ...
I liked the fact that the umbrella/chair vendors on the beach were very helpful. I don't have anything bad to say. I loved the beach especially the waves.
1st and foremost..Waikiki is over-hyped and slightly over-rated, but its legacy is what it is and its not only "the" most famous beach but it's setting makes it one of the few most beautiful beaches. I went with my family 2 times growing up and me and fiance went last December. One of the unique things about Hawaii, is it never gets ...

Lots of Fun!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/08
Waikiki Beach is a lot of fun! The water is warm and clear. I wasn't even snorkeling and I saw fish!! Just be careful though because the coral can hurt your feet and many "inexperienced"(or horrible) surfers go there to take lessons, so watch your back!! The Waikiki Banyon is a great hotel!
We went last year (07) in May for our honeymoon. Its a nice beach compared to others we've been to. It can be enjoyed much better in the early morning before 6:30-7 am. We took awesome pictures of each other with Diamond Head as our background. It doesnt take long though to get crowded. But when it does, you can always take a short walk to the ...

Still dream about it
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/08
I loved being in the middle of all the action- my husband preferred the beaches on Maui because they weren't as busy.
The sand is clean, the water's gorgeous, and I love that you could leave your hotel room, board the elevators, walk a few steps and be on the beach. Every night we meandered up and down the water. Just wonderful. I did dock 1 star for value, just because the food was so expensive.
As I remember, it was a large beach with a beautiful view of diamond head. The water was warm, the sun was warm almost hot, and the beach was full of people. We stayed at "The Reef" hotel, right on the beach. Our room had a nice view of the beach and the morning sunrise. Very nice and worth the time to visit. Maybe you will see a star, I did. An older star Bob Hope, this was in 1970. That was the only star I've seen there.

An awesome beach, but be sure to pick the rigt spot!
I loved Waikiki Beach. Although, you have to be in the right place. Some places have walls on the sides and are small areas and I would highly recommend keeping clear of those. Something that's really fun to do is stand there and when the waves come, let yourself get submerged in the waves. Overall, it is an excellent place to go if you ...
the beach was ok in the daytime, didnt know it would be that crowded. we didnt stay too long because the waves were pretty high and coming towards the shoreline. i loved shopping at the stores by waikiki beach better than the actual beach. at night its alot less crowded and a better more serene atmosphere. the beach is beautiful at night.
