Waikīkī (/waɪkiːˈkiː/; Hawaiian: [vɐjˈtiːˈtiː, wɐjˈtiːˈtiː]) is a beachfront neighborhood of Honolulu, on the south shore of the island of Oʻahu, in Hawaii, United States. Waikiki is best known for Waikīkī Beach, the white sand beach shoreline fronting the neighborhood.
Waikīkī is home to public places including Kapiʻolani Park, Fort DeRussy, Kahanamoku Lagoon, Kūhiō Beach Park, and Ala Wai Harbor.
The name Waikīkī means spouting fresh water in the Hawaiian language, for springs and streams that fed wetlands that once separated Waikīkī from the interior.
The area was a retreat for Hawaiian royalty in the 1800s who enjoyed surfing there on early forms of longboards.
A few small hotels opened in the 1880s. In 1893, Greek-American George Lycurgus leased the guest house of Allen Herbert and renamed it the "Sans Souci" (French for "without worries") creating one of the first beach resorts. Later that year Robert Louis Stevenson stayed at the resort; subsequently it became a popular destination for tourists from the mainland. The area at coordinates 21°15′49″N 157°49′17″W / 21.26361°N 157.82139°W / 21.26361; -157.82139 is still called "Sans Souci Beach".

This video is about 2015 Floatilla in Waikīkī at Kaimana Beach, Honolulu, O'ahu, Hawai'i. The last clip shows one of the waves that came up and smashed us, throwing people overboard. This is just moments before I lost my camera and my keys in the ocean. You can see that I lost them in the open ocean water, down in the reefs below. We headed back in to shore and I realized I lost everything, way out in the open waters ('way out' is a relative term). I had totally lost all hope of ever seeing my camera or my keys ever again. But just when you think all is lost, Miss Amazing, aka Lani Rupp, goes searching the ocean for me, and SHE FINDS MY CAMERA AND MY KEYS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN!!! LIKE OMFG NO WAY!!!!

A walking tour in the Waikiki beach area of the city of Honolulu on the island of Oahu , Hawaii. Walkabouter's Guide to Australia or whatever we end up calling this thing. Made by Shaun McKinnon; this video that is. Not the Hawaiian islands.

https://www.expedia.com/Honolulu.d1488.Destination-Travel-Guides Welcome to Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii. Stationed on the island of Oahu, Honolulu is ready to show you surf and sun like you’ve never seen before. Whether you’re here to live the life of a beach bum or want to explore the city’s lush tropical surroundings, you’ll find everything you’re looking for on your Honolulu tour. Hawaii had a pretty explosive inception—Diamond Head Crater, also called Leahi, started life as an active volcano. Don’t worry; it’s since gone dormant, which means you can climb to the rim and take in a truly brilliant view of the coast. Head back down to the water and go paddleboarding or swimming; “Honolulu” means “sheltered bay,” and the beachfront here lives up to its name: It’s calm and sheltered y...
