The beach in front of the magnificent Halekulani is known locally as "Gray's Beach" for a boardinghouse called "Gray's by-the-Sea" that once stood here.  This stretch of sand is one of the better areas to swim in at Waikiki. Kahunas of yesteryear believed the waters here were blessed with healing powers.  It's yet another good reason to visit our personal favorite Waikiki destination known as Halekulani - the "House Befitting Heaven."
