Waikiki - Kalakaua Avenue

 
Waikiki's main street, named after King David Kalakaua, stretches for 1 mile/1.6km from Beretania Avenue (Beretania is the Hawaiian word for Britain) in Downtown Honolulu to the end of Kapiolani Park.

Along Kalakaua Avenue - the heart of Waikiki - which runs parallel to the beach, are countless hotels, restaurants and shops. If visitors are looking for a change from the beach, they need never be bored in this always-lively street.

Very close by are the Waikiki Shopping Center (on the corner of Seaside Avenue), the International Market Place (between Seaside Street and Kanekapolei Street) and the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which stretches from Lewers Street as far as Seaside Avenue. Many shops can also be found in the hotels, particularly the upper floors of the Hyatt Regency (2424 Kalakaua Avenue).

In the last few years redevelopment has taken place in and around Kalakaua Avenue and the area has been planted with more than 100 trees.
