Top Beaches 2004  - # 1

Hanauma Bay, Hawaii

The Hanauma Bay Nature Park, on the island of Oahu, is actually a State Underwater Park, and is an excellent --and popular-- place for snorkeling. Visit the beach early, to beat the crowds.

Hanauma Bay is a short drive from tourist center Waikiki Beach. The Waikiki area, though busy, has been beautified, and has much to offer families right in the area and as a base for day-trips. Have a look at Top Things to do on Oahu, at TWKids.
