Waikiki Beach

This is the famous Waikiki beach. It is a nice clean beach in the centre of the city so everything is in very close proximity. This is, believe it or not, a manmade beach but it is still very nice and has a very 'real' feel. There are around 80 hotels to choose from in this are so there is no lack of accomodation and there is something for everyones budget. We stayed in a hostel called The Beachside Hostel it was reasonable and was very close to everything we were interested in. It cost us around $US20 per night per person for an 8 bed mixed dorm which was my first hostel experience and I have to say, it was different.
