Waiki-ki- or Waikiki is a neighborhood of Honolulu, in the City
& County of Honolulu, on the south shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Waikiki
Beach is the shoreline fronting Waikiki and one of the best known beaches in the
world.
The neighborhood extends from the Ala Wai Canal (a channel dug
to drain former wetlands) on the west and north, to Diamond Head (Le-ahi) on the
east. The name means spouting fresh water in Hawaiian for springs and streams
that fed wetlands that once separated Waikiki from the interior. Waikiki has long
been a place of relaxation. In particular, the area was a retreat for Hawaiian
royalty in the 1800s.
Today the neighborhood and beach are considered the center of the tourist industry in Hawaii, with an abundance of both high rise resort hotels (including the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Halekulani hotel, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, and the Sheraton Waikiki) and historic hotels dating back to the early 20th century (such as the Moana Surfrider Hotel and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel).
Waikiki Beach is noted for its magnificent views of the dormant volcano Diamond Head, its usually warm and cloud-free climate and its surfbreak. The frequently visited tourist beach, is actually fairly short, with half of it marked off for surfers. For some distance into the ocean the water is quite shallow, although there are numerous rocks on the bottom, so waders should watch where they put their feet. As with most ocean beaches the waves can have some force, particularly on windy days. The surf at Waikiki is known to its long rolling break, making it ideal for long boarding, tandem surfing and beginners. The beach hosts many events a year, including surf competitions, outdoor performances, hula dancing and outrigger canoe races.
Over time, Waikiki beach has had its problems with erosion, leading to the construction of groins and beach replenishment projects. For example, in the 1920s and 1930s sand was imported from Manhattan Beach, California, via ship and barges to Waikiki.
Honolulu is the capital and most populous census-designated place (CDP) in the USA state of Hawaii. Although Honolulu refers to the urban area on the southeastern shore of the island of Oahu, the city and the county are consolidated, known as the City and County of Honolulu, and the city and county is designated as the entire island. The City and County of Honolulu is the only incorporated city in Hawaii, as all other local government entities are administered at the county level.
