Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Statue

"Very good meeting point. Lei all over the statue. For me, here starts the real Waikiki area."

"Beautiful place with amazing beach. Sometime over the weekend there has been cultural program which is amazing."

"My husband was an avid surfer in California as a young man loves to visit the Duke statue in Honolulu to honor the man that introduced surfing to the mainland."

"This beach is absolutely beautiful. But it is also very CROWDED and very public; it is basically in the middle of a shopping district. There's actually a public restroom on-site at this beach, but the restroom and the people hanging around the restroom (even in the middle of the day) seem very sketchy."

"Amazing beach, specially if you have young kids. The part which has a sea wall is really calm and relaxing. It allows even non swimmers to have lots of fun and even try out snorkeling. It’s not that crowded if you get there early in the morning. Getting an umbrella and a picnic/beach blanket is a must as the afternoon gets super hot and you will be sunburnt without shade."
