Waikiki Beach
Surf Guide
Waikiki Beach consists of numerous spots that offer rights and lefts, as well as world-renowned crowds. But it's Waikiki -- one of the birthplaces of recreational surfing and a pillar in the quintessential Hawaiian surfing experience. Surf Waikiki and you'll share (literally) waves with people from all over the world, many of which are just learning how to surf. While Waikiki conjures images of small, soft and rolling waves, when there's a solid Southern Hemi swell running, many of its breaks turn on enough to keep the beginners on the inside, leaving the better outside rollers for more experienced surfers.
