Small parking lot on premise BUT peeps park at Kaumakapili Church for a quick pick up.
MUST TRY: Poke. Personal favorite is the blue crab prepared Hawaiian style. They don't always have it so when they do it is a treat.
Stinky = good! Local fish n produce is awesome.
it's near the church
Best place to stay at Waikiki. On main strip, but a couple of blocks away from the excessive noise. AAA discounts are great here. The beds are super comfortable.
Only stay in Kalakaua Tower suites
I was here when the malasada special flavor was banana - super delicious!!! The coconut was good too but banana > coconut :]
A must on the list of things to do for first time visitors or regulars, the best ‘donut’ in this world, it is malasades – a Portuguese sweet dough fried. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
Leonard Rego started baking malasadas (Portuguese pastries similar to doughnuts) at his bakery in the 1950s. His son continues the tradition, serving the rolled-sugar pastries hot from the oven.
Just minutes away from UHM, this beach is popular with both visitors and residents. You can swim, surf, snorkel, dive, people-watch, or just bask in the sun (don't forget to use sunscreen!).
Watch the sunset.

Great snacks to grab before heading to the beach; all the masubis and onigiris were excellent! My favorite is the cucumber/spam/ume masubi.
Stock up on these Musubis before a hike to Diamond Head!
best spam musubis! once you try these, you'll never purchase them from ABC stores again! $1.88 for an original Spam Musubi
It's a lagoon so this is a great place for swimming. There's a grassy area for picnics and bbqs. Popular wedding photo spot!
Lesser-known (hence less touristy) but beautiful beach. Head to the lagoon at the end for great swimming and seclusion. Wonderful picnic spot and the best place to watch the sunset.
The water is free. Drink up.
Excellent place to swim, have a picnic, or get some exercise in. Running paths, tennis courts, and lots of open space to have fun.

Excellent study spot. Lots of table space in and out. Parking can be a peak time issue but proper planning and utilizing moped/motorcycle /bike transport mitigates. Take advantage of the specials

Order the calamari. They are thick slices, not like the typical rings and spider looking things you usually get. Their cocktail sauce is great. It has a bit of a Hawaiian kick to it.
