Oahu
Oahu is the perfect mix of gorgeous scenery and sophisticated amenities. The beaches of Oahu all have names that are known worldwide for their amazing beauty, soft sand, and aloha spirit. This island is home to Honolulu, the state capital, and one of the few modernized areas of the state. Although this capital has much to offer visitors with museums, shops, and other cultural attractions, the real way to see the island is outside the city limits. Right outside this metropolitan area lie tropical valleys that have not changed much in thousands of years. See Waikiki, one of the most popular and well-known beaches anywhere. Eat at fine dining restaurants or grab a local favorite from a stand on the road. Boogie boarders will want to try out the surf on Makapuu Beach, Lanikai Beach is popular with swimmers, kayakers, and windsurfers, and Kailua Beach is known for beachcombing and strolling along its crystal blue waters. Visit Kahana to feel the charm of the small beach towns that dot the coast. Oahu’s world famous North Shore is blessed with pristine white sand beaches and perfect, glassy walled, epic waves and tubes, is known for its world-class surfing, body boarding, body surfing. Serious surfers and spectators crowd Sunset Beach Park, Waimea Bay Beach Park, and Ehukai Beach Park, home to the infamous Banazi Pipeline, to see the epic waves that crash on the shore. Oahu is also home to Pearl Harbor, where the attack was made on December 7, 1941. Here you can see the famous USS Arizona Memorial and the rest of “Battleship Row”. Visitors can tour the entire island in a day, but it is suggested to spend several days in this Hawaiian paradise. |
