Waikiki Beach boasts overwhelming popularity as the most famous beach in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is central to Waikiki, a place almost everyone visits at least once when traveling to Hawaii!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its total length is actually about 3km (approx. 2 miles), and it is roughly classified into 8 areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly few people know this, but since each area has a different charm, we recommend experiencing all 8 locations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have detailed information in separate articles for the particularly popular Duke Kahanamoku Beach and Kaimana Beach, so please take a look at those as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the area generally recognized as "Waikiki Beach" is actually Kuhio Beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Waikiki Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before being developed as a resort, the Waikiki area was a wetland and agricultural zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a history of creating the current appearance of Waikiki by building a large artificial river called the Ala Wai Canal to prevent water flowing from the mountains into Waikiki, and reclaiming the land that used to be wetlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because river water and soil no longer flow down, the sandy beach constantly erodes, so sand is actually added to Waikiki Beach once every few years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, the sand at Waikiki Beach comes from California. (Laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waikiki Beach has some artificial aspects like this, but that resort atmosphere has become the very image of Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can only be grateful to the predecessors who turned Waikiki, which has the most sunny days in Hawaii and the best conditions, into a resort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
