VIEW OF WAIKIKI BEACH (Centre Spread)

WAIKIKI BEACH - Probably the most beautiful beach in all the world is to be seen at Waikiki.
At all hours of the day bathers and surf riders can be seen in the surf.
Canoes can be seen dashing in the green waves as they come rolling in from the Pacific,
filled with laughing natives and tourists.
This famous beach is easily accessible to the city and bathing can be
indulged in at night as well as day.
There is not the slightest danger from undertow or deep water.
