Waikiki Historic Trail


Waikiki Historic Trail is next to San Souci Beach and the Seven Sacred Pools on Honolulu Oahu, Hawaii. The historic trail begins with four distinct areas of Waikiki Beach. These areas are outrigger Canoe Club, Kapi'olani Park, Queen's Surf, and San Souci. The club was started in 1908 for surfing and canoe paddling. San Souci is a beach and a hotel. The hotel is now Kaimana Beach Hotel. Kapi'olani Park Beach is 100 acres of land that honors King Kalakaua and Queen Kapi'olani. The Queen's Surf is a restaurant started in the 1950s.

Along the trail are markers. The information above is part of Marker 1. Marker 2 on the trail is Kapahulu Groin which is a popular surfing spot known for hundreds of years. Diamond Head is not far from this surf beach.

Marker 3 is Ala Wai Lili'uokalani Site, which was 2,000 acres that was turned into 500 acres when it became part of the trail. It used to serve as the drainage basin where water fell on Ko'olau Mountain Range. Early settlers made their way to the area's taro fields, gardens and fish ponds.

Waikiki Historic Trail offers a few miles of historical and important locations to Hawaiian culture.
