Queen's Surf Beach

Queen's Surf Beach is a sand beach in Waikiki that stretches between Kapahulu Groin and Waikiki Aquarium along the Pacific Ocean. It offers both calm swimming areas and sections where surfers can catch waves.

The beach takes its name from Queen Liliuokalani, the last Hawaiian monarch, who had a royal residence and pier in this area during the 1800s. This royal heritage remains an important part of the beach's identity today.

The bronze sculpture Surfer on a Wave shows the deep bond between Hawaiian culture and ocean activities that have shaped life here for generations. This section of the beach brings locals and visitors together to experience that same connection to the water.

The beach has lifeguards on duty, restroom facilities, showers, and public parking available. It helps to arrive in the morning when it is less crowded, especially if you want to swim or surf in peace.

On summer evenings, the beach transforms into an outdoor cinema where visitors watch movies under the stars with the ocean in view. This seasonal event brings entertainment together with the natural setting of the place.
