Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Waikiki, Hawaii (HI)
The mere mention of Hawaii is enough to prompt visions of grass skirts and colorful cocktails with tiny umbrellas. While you will find some kitsch in Honolulu, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Popular Waikiki Beach has soft sands and great surf. For majestic Oahu views scramble to the top of Diamond Head – a 350-acre volcanic crater. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are worth a visit on a non-beach day.

This is a beatifiul church right off the Waikiki beach so it gets lots of visiting parishioners. We attended the Aasumption of Mary Mass and the priest who was visiting from the states did a wonderful homily. The story of St Augustine is a wonderful story by itself. We have attended Mass each time we visit. .

Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku was quite a prolific man. A gold medalist swimmer, actor, police officer and probably the most important person in the history of surfing. This impressive statue, usually adorned with the leis of visitors, sits right on the Waikiki beach, a perfect place for a man who loved the beach. An impressive statue.

The Makua and Kila statue is based on the children's story. Of all the statues in the area I am huge fan of the design of this one. It is so striking and carved with the water as if the figures of the surfer and the monk seal are moving.
