Waikiki

On first impression, I wasn’t thrilled with Waikiki. It is very touristy and the shops and restaurants are overpriced. But the good side of that is that they make it so easy to be a tourist. Want a surfing lesson? Just wander the beach and every 100 yards is a surf school. Want to do something outside Waikiki? Just sign up for a tour group with one of the many many agents hanging out on the sidewalk. Didn’t bring a beach towel? There are plenty of shops to pick one up.

I loved lying in the sand reading and watching my boyfriend’s surf lesson.

Beautiful island, with beautiful people,i would love to visit it again some day.

:) beeautiful

happier
peaceful
able to let little things go

i want to go back to hawaii for a while

beautiful everything
priceless to be able to stand on one of hawaii’s shores, with no cares in your mind and the warm breeze in your hair
ahhhhhh.

i learned that big girls are considered beautiful in hawaii
another plus to be there
ahha.

It actually is completely worth visiting, but if you can afford to stay somewhere less touristy I would recommend it.

I thought Waikiki was a tad dirty compared to the other beaches in Hawaii

On my trip to Waikiki, I stayed at the Marriott Waikiki, which is quite a bit further down the beach and it is considerably less crowded. It’s closer to Diamondhead as well. It was within easy walking distance to the more crowded parts of Waikiki, so restaurants and shopping were convenient… it was just nicer to have less crowded beaches, because Waikiki is so crowded.
