My wife is torturing me to go to Hawaii. I googled it but most articles just mention 10 beaches without telling you which one is the best so that is why I'm asking here. We don't surf or do any of that other fancy stuff that requires you to have any special gear or high waves. We just want the cleanest possible water, warm and without some life threatening currents or waves. Where should I go?
We like to eat out. She would probably shop if possible. I'm not really sure what cultural events are but probably not interested. Nightlife definitely not important, probably better if there wasn't one. The beach is still the main point to us. I don't want to go there because there are good restaurants but the beach will turn out to be rocky and for surfers only.
Actually we like to drive around a bit. If there are some viewing points to get to in a car we could do that. We don't want to commute to the beach though. Looking for parking for 30 minutes is something I already have here in California.
Its hard to give more info because we are pretty boring people and I can't really think of any "activities".
Well waikiki sounds like one good choice you wont need to drive to the beach and it has alot of shopping areas. You can drive to some nice areas like the Nuʻuanu Pali lookout with awsome views or close to diamond head to hike the stairs to the top. All under no time really.
I'm not a big ocean person (I know, odd choice to live) so I like the "easier" beaches like Waikiki, Ala Moana and Lanikai.
If you are only coming for beaches that's a long flight for sand and water. No where on the mainland appeals?
Why does she want to come here so badly? You don't seem to want to go. As you both have no interest in culture, why not another beach in a warm area?

I love the beaches in Hawaii and go for just that. We are boring people too but might just out do you. I go to the beach after breakfast with a lunch that I pack or pick up and stay till sunset. Then drive back for dinner or shopping after sundown. I have found endless beaches on Oahu as mentioned, and Maui has many wonderful beaches. Depending on where you stay it may take 30 minutes to drive to them but parking has never been a problem for me and the drive is beautiful so very much worth it. Just avoid rush hour.
