Traveling and Hotels

Waikiki is known as the Hawaiian for "Sprouting Water" beach. Waikiki beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world. Its warm waters and rolling surf have been attracting large numbers of visitors since 1901, when the first large tourist hotel, the Moana, opened for business. It is the best travel destination for any kind of vacation that is the two mile stretch of white sand coast and fronted by hotels and tourist facilities.

More importantly, this is also where we will find the surfing waves that Waikiki Beach is famous for. But regardless of how we want to pass the time, the concessionaires along the beach will have something for us to do, from renting surfboards, to outrigger canoe and catamaran rides.

Just remember, that during the summer months Waikiki Beach experiences very high surfs, which can be dangerous to the inexperienced swimmer. So stay close to the shore, and mind the Lifeguards.

Getting to Waikiki is very easy. Oahu has Hawaii’s major airport: Honolulu International Airport. It’s not just the beach though: Check out nearby Kapahulu for local culture and, in particular, the famous malasada, a delicious doughnut, then go shopping at the renowned Kapiolani Farmers’ Market with excellent locally produced produce such as Hawaiian papaya and regional delicacies, and, if you haven’t got one yet, buy the loudest Hawaiian shirt you can find.

When one said about the world famous beach in the world, so the first coming to mind is Copacabana beach (Praia de Copacabana). Copacabana is the best travel destination that located within the city confines of Rio de Janeiro, this four kilometer strip of beach serves up an animated menu of activities and sights as lengthy as its coastline. Possibly the most famous stretch of sand in the world, Copacabana beach is synonymous with the hedonistic side of Rio – with sun, sea, beautiful bodies and New Year celebrations on the beach.

Swimming in its crystal blue waters, tanning in its sun baked sand, kicking around a futbol in a game of sand soccer or beach volleyball, with or without your hands, can all be deliciously tempting your round (though June-August does see its share of rain) at this prominent South American retreat.

Copacabana is named after the conspicuous (you can’t miss it) and still distinguished Copacabana Palace Hotel which opened in 1920, to this day attracts the rich and famous.



The allure of the wide, white sand beach, the affable locals or Cariocas, round the clock parties, bikini clad beauties (don’t worry ladies there’s a pile of bronzed back beef cake too) sumptuous restaurants, lively bars and music and night clubs all at very reasonable prices, will instantly gain and keep attention through out your stay.
