Waikiki beaches are where all the tourists are at. But you'll find a lot of local families here at Ala Moana Beach, near the Ala Moana Center mall. It's a short walk from Waikiki, or just hop on TheBus. Swimming here is in a deep-water channel. Sprawling grassy areas for picnicking, playing ball or whatevahs. Don't miss a sunset walk around Magic Island!
