Hawaii | Waikiki Beach and Turtle Beach|2015

Turtle Beach heralds the entrance to the North Shore, and is located near Kahuku Point, the most northerly point of Oahu. Turtle Bay Beach is also known as Kukae'ohiki (which means excrement of the ghost crabs), and is famous for the turtles of course. Visitors flock here to see them because they are known to hang out rather close to the shore. They tend to not always show themselves, so your best bet is to just go and if they are there then great if not - then try another time.
High-rise hotels line the shore in Waikiki, a vibrant neighborhood known for its popular surf beach. Designer fashion stores line Kalakaua Avenue and nearby streets, and the area buzzes after dark with waterside cocktail bars, fine dining and Kuhio Beach hula shows. Honolulu Zoo is home to Komodo dragons and wandering peacocks, while parrotfish and urchins inhabit Waikiki Aquarium’s reef exhibit.
