Have you spent a long time planning a trip to the beach to relax and cut through the waves while surfing? The island of O'ahu is one of the largest islands in Hawaii and will be the ideal location for both options. As it’s Hawaii’s most populous island, it has a lively nightlife and a fun environment for friends and family. Visit Hanauma Bay’s exotic fishes or Waimea Valley’s waterfalls to enjoy local nature. For those looking for an exclusive beach vacation, head to Lanikai Beach, which has soft sand, the popular Waikiki Beach, or Waimanalo Beach about a 30-minute drive from Waikiki. These are lovely places to visit for people of all ages and interests. If you’re planning a visit, make sure that you have a comfortable place to stay before you travel.
