Waikiki Beach is a beachfront neighborhood of Honolulu on the south shore of the island of OÊ»ahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Waikiki is most famous for WaikÄ«kÄ« Beach, but it is just one of six beaches in the district, the others being Queen's Beach, Kuhio Beach, Gray's Beach, Fort DeRussy Beach and Kahanamoku Beach. The name WaikÄ«kÄ« means spouting fresh water in the Hawaiian language, for springs and streams that fed wetlands that once separated WaikÄ«kÄ« from the interior. The area was a retreat for Hawaiian royalty in the 1800s who enjoyed surfing there on early forms of longboards. Today, the area is filled with large resort hotels, such as the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Halekulani, the Hyatt Regency WaikÄ«kÄ«, Marriott Waikiki, Sheraton WaikÄ«kÄ«, and historic hotels dating back to the early 20th century (such as the Moana Surfrider Hotel and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel). The beach hosts many events a year, including surf competitions, outdoor performances, hula dancing and outrigger canoe races.
