Honolulu
Five years ago I was having a surf lesson on Waikiki Beach! It is the perfect place to learn with small waves constantly rolling in.
This photo is the view from my room at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach which has a prime location with great views of Diamond Head from some balconies as you can see.
Honolulu can be a great stopover on the way to the other Hawaiian Islands, or even mainland USA cities. But it can also be a destination on its own with plenty to see and do!
