Waikiki Beaches are great but busy.
Waikiki is for tourists. There are some great beaches there, and we partook, but I would suspect the locals wanting to catch some surf elsewhere on the island. Not far from Waikiki there are some isolated beaches just off the Diamond Head road.

On our trip around Diamond Head, there were more committed ‘surfer types’ heading down to the more secluded beaches.
