Waikiki Beach
Why isn't Waikiki Beach in the Beach Parks section?
Waikiki Beach is the tourist area; the place where many of the hotels for tourists
exist. Other touristy places as restaurants, lounges, and souvenir shops. A view
of the beach and hotels from a pier.
The pier across the street from my hotel. It was a popular spot for tourists
to go and just observe.
Walking along the beach a couple sights on the water.
Walking along the street next to the beach a few sights.
Makua and Kila - based on a children's story honoring Hawaiian values of
love and respect for family and ocean.
Olympic champion Duke Paoa Kahanamoku - won 3 gold medals between 1912 and 1932.

Sights in a park near the beach. A banyan tree is behind the surfer sculpture.

Princess Ka'iulani was the only child born to last reining dynasty of the
Hawaiian Kingdom.
Early one morning a rainbow was seen, quite weak, but a rainbow.
The weak rainbow wouldn't have been included, if the double rainbow wasn't
seen a few minutes later.
