Waikiki Beach is noted for its magnificent views of
the dormant volcano Diamond Head, it's usually warm
and cloud-free climate and its surfbreak. The
frequently visited tourist beach, is actually
fairly short, with half of it marked off for
surfers. As with most ocean beaches the waves can
have some force, particularly on windy days. The
surf at Waikiki is known to its long rolling break,
making it ideal for long boarding, tandem surfing
and beginners. The beach hosts many events a year,
including surf competitions, outdoor performances,
hula dancing and outrigger canoe races.
