Not to be forgotten is the stunning fusion cuisine, just one way the best of Eastern, Western and island culture meld together on this utopian island. Here, a few steps is all it takes to leave a lively, modern city and rows of timeless resorts to enter the world-famous sands of Waikiki Beach. Follow the curve of the coast to be dazzled by the vastness of the great Pacific from atop the 760-foot tufted Diamond Head Crater, a stunning array of reefs just visible below. Head in either direction to the untamed waters of the North Shore, hallowed ground for surfers the world around, and try your hand at conquering the waves that made this island so famous. Be sure to enjoy the ride on land as well as at sea—the way is lined with meticulously kept, yet peacefully deserted, beaches that seem to mark each mile.
