Kaimana Beach
Where Honolulu actually swims in Waikiki.
Sans Souci on the old maps, Kaimana to everyone who lives here. Shallow, sandy, free of strong currents, with a lifeguard tower and showers at the quiet Diamond Head end of Waikiki. Distance swimmers follow the Kapua Channel out toward Old Man's while families hold the inside. Skip the stretch by the hotels and start here.
