KŪHIŌ BEACH / HULA MOUND

Kūhiō Beach is a section in Waikiki Beach stretching from the Moana Surfrider Hotel to Kapahulu Avenue. It is a well-liked beach for families since it provides a sheltered swimming area created by an offshore retaining wall. Kūhiō Beach Hula Mound is located adjacent to the beach, near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, on Kalākaua Avenue (at Uluniu Avenue). It is a casual, grassy, outdoor stage situated under a majestic banyan tree and is the location for many hula concerts. Audiences sit on the grass, so bring your beach chairs and mats. Enjoy hula performances at the Pan-Pacific Hula Festival and watch the sun set on world-famous Waikīkī Beach!
