Hawaii, United States
Waikiki
Waikiki is a 1.5-mile crescent of white sand at the foot of Diamond Head — the most famous beach in the United States and the easiest entry point into Hawaii. The beach itself is genuinely beautiful, the surf conditions are perfect for beginners, and the concentration of food and activities within walking distance is unmatched anywhere in the Pacific. Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, the North Shore, and Lanikai Beach are all within an hour.
