Shopping Right at Waikiki Beach Walk
Waikiki Beach Walk is Oahu's playground - a place where visitors and locals alike come to enjoy world-class dining, eclectic shopping and lively entertainment. From savoring an unforgettable meal at one of nine inspired dining establishments, finding the souvenir of a lifetime at one of the 45 shops, or kicking back on the open-air lawn while enjoying a weekly hula performance, there are countless memories to be made during your vacation.
Come and gather at 'wahi pana,' the place of healing water, where Hawaiian royalty once sought relaxation and renewal. This same spirit continues today at Waikiki Beach Walk.
