Waikiki Beach |
The State of Hawai'i was statehood on 21st 1959, and during this event, it was granted that all beaches in Hawai'i stayed public for everyone.
If you are a "beach bum", and you will find your place here, on the island of O'ahu. The whole island has impressive beaches, and one of them, Waimanalo was voted the best beach in the United States of America in 2015. You can do some fun water sports including surfing, stand up paddle boarding, windsurfing, kayaking, and many more.
Here is the list of some few beaches which are worth visiting:
1. Waikiki Beach...one of the most famous
beaches in the world with a lookout on Diamond Head Crater. It is a great place for those who want to try surfing. There is plenty of surfboards rentals and surf lessons are also possible to be booked.I would recommend you to go to Moku store, located a block away from Waikiki Beach on Koa Ave., just behind the Hyatt Regency hotel.They are super nice people there and they have a very competitive prices comparing to these you can find directly at the beach.
2. Fort DeRussay Beach is only fifteen minutes away from the Waikiki beach, and it is my favorite beach in the Waikiki area. Why? The water is much calmer here than at the Waikiki beach, and you can do some paddle stand up boarding, aqua cycles, you can also have a barbecue there, play squash and join some locals to play beach volleyball.
3. Kailua and Lanika'i Beaches are situated on the east coat of the island. It is a great place for windsurfing and kayaking. Lanika'i Beach is the most beautiful beach, in my opinion.
4. Waimanalo has been voted the most beautiful beach in the USA in 2015, it is popular with newlyweds for photo shooting wedding pictures.
5. Sandy Beach on the southern part of the Island is famous from very rough waves.It is not recommended to go into the water, as it can literally break your back.It is very popular beach with locals who love playing boogie boarding.
5. North Shore Beaches: Haleiwa, Lanikaea (great for snorkeling and watching turtles), Waimea Bay and Banzai Pipeline (famous from big waves and the most important surf competitions such as Triple Crown),Sunset Beach and Turtle Bay.
6. West O'ahu: Kahe Point (Electric Beach -nickname from the electric power plant located nearby) is popular scuba diving place, because of the water clarity. The warm water attracts there score of sea life. You may take Hawaii Nautical's Snorkel Dolphin Sail to see the Electric Beach.
