One of the most famous beaches in the world, Waikīkī Beach hosts 4 million visitors each year with breathtaking views of Lēʻahi (Diamond Head).  Waikīkī is one of the best places in Hawaii to learn how to surf or paddle a canoe thanks to its small but long-lasting wave break.  Spanning a two-mile stretch, Waikīkī is actually made up of a few beaches, including Fort DeRussy Beach to the west, Waikīkī Beach (fronting the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Westin Moana Surfrider), Kūhiō Beach (along Kalākaua Avenue) and Queen Surf Beach, home to quieter stretches on the Lēʻahi Head side of Waikīkī.
