The soft sands and inviting surf in front of the Westin Moana-Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel gently guides you into the heart of Waikiki.  The beach is always packed here and activity stands do a brisk business in board rentals, outrigger canoe rides, and catamaran trips. Helpful beach boys have been teaching visitors how to surf and canoe at the beach since the time of Duke Kahanamoku.  This is the prime spot for ocean activities and people watching.  Don't forget to bring your camera because the spectacular sunset view from here will remain with you for a lifetime.
