"Beautiful beach, but very crowded. Great for surfing lessons, sunsets, and people-watching. Convenient location with lots of shops and restaurants. Restrooms are sometimes unclean."
Waikiki Beach is a popular, easily accessible urban beach with a vibrant atmosphere. It offers good opportunities for water activities and rentals but is known for its high crowd levels, particularly during the afternoons. While family-friendly aspects are present, parking is difficult and the lack of pet-friendliness is notable.
