[HI] Oahu, Honolulu, Ala Moana Beach, Magic Island - USA
Ala Moana - a perfect blend of city and beach
Hawaii is the 50th state of the United States and consists of a chain of volcanic islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, approximately 3,700 kilometers southwest of the mainland United States. Hawaii consists of eight major islands, the most famous of which are Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi (also known as the Big Island), Molokaʻi, and Lānaʻi. The capital is Honolulu, located on the island of Oʻahu, which is also the most populous island. Hawaii is unique both geographically and culturally.
Honolulu - the capital of Hawaii, on the southern coast of the island of Oʻahu, is the largest city in the entire archipelago. Honolulu has a population of over 350,000, but the metropolitan area that includes the entire island is home to nearly a million people - the majority of Hawaii's population. Honolulu is known for its iconic Waikiki, a former resort area for Hawaiian royalty that is now filled with hotels, shopping, restaurants and the famous Waikiki Beach, where surfers catch waves with Diamond Head Crater in the background. Nearby is Ala Moana Center, one of the world's largest outdoor shopping malls. Honolulu is framed by green-clad mountains, volcanic craters and the ocean, and it is easy to get to hiking trails, waterfalls or snorkeling coves.
Ala Moana - known for its mix of shopping, recreation, and oceanfront location. The name "Ala Moana" means "road to the sea" in Hawaiian, which is fitting since the area is located directly on the coast between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. Ala Moana is a popular area for locals and tourists alike, thanks to its accessibility, beaches, and wide variety of shops and restaurants. At the center of the area is the Ala Moana Center, one of the world's largest outdoor shopping malls. It opened in 1959 and has since grown to house over 350 stores and restaurants, including international luxury brands, local designer boutiques, and cuisine from around the world. It also features a stage for cultural performances, particularly hula and music shows that reflect Hawaiian traditions.
Ala Moana Beach - one of Honolulu's most beloved beaches, located just west of Waikiki and directly adjacent to the large Ala Moana Center shopping mall. The beach is part of Ala Moana Beach Park, a 30-acre city park that offers both relaxation and activity in the heart of Honolulu. Unlike many other beaches on Oʻahu, Ala Moana Beach is protected by an outer coral reef, which means the water is usually calm and shallow. This makes the beach especially popular with families, swimmers, stand-up paddlers and kayakers. The golden sand stretches for over 800 meters. Ala Moana Beach is lined with a long grassy park with walkways, exercise areas, barbecue areas and shady trees, making it ideal for picnics and exercise. There are also lifeguard towers, showers and restrooms. Ala Moana Beach is also a popular place to watch sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, often with views of sailboats on the horizon and the Waikiki skyline in the distance. On weekends, the park is filled with both locals and tourists, and it is not uncommon to see music, dancing, and spontaneous beach games.
