Rumor has it that some of the grains have come all the way from Australia to help fill the beach. Yep, Waikiki Beach is actually manufactured. But, who cares. It’s gorgeous and it’s a beach!
The Diamond Head walk was at the top of our Hawaii bucket list. And from the number of people on the walk when we did it, I think it’s on the top of everyone’ else’s’ things to do in Waikiki list too.
I’m so glad we decided to go, and I now know why it’s one of the best things to do in Waikiki with kids. It was a fantastic educational experience for our kids and I was so impressed with how they behaved and what they learned.
Kahanamoku Beach provides a nice swimming area that is relatively safe for kids, and there’s plenty of space on the sand to lay your towel for sunbathing.
We enjoyed spending the afternoon playing with the water toys and it was the first time for the girls to go on a paddle boat and Savannah loved taking control of the driving.

One of my favorite memories of our Hawaii trip was when Savannah got a tattoo from one of the male performers who happened to look just like Maui from Moana. She was convinced it was him and she was smitten.
