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,
