Hi, I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to Watchmojo.com, and today we'll be learning more about Hawaïan
of Oahu.
Appropriately
the
gathering place, Oahu is the most populous of the Hawaïan islands. The state Capital and largest city Honolulu is located on this
.
The popular region of Waikiki is also found on the island of Oahu.
It was
once a
haven for Hawaïan royalty with
beaches and world class shopping abundant, this is the great place to visit.
Five time olympic medalist Duke Kahanamoku
hails from Waikiki and he is credited with
broadening the popularity of surfing
throughout the world.
Roughly an hour’s drive from Waikiki is Ala-Vai. This
surf town is where
go to refuel and
go to relax at the simple restaurants in the area.
Iolani palace is the United States' only
palace and is found in
downtown Honolulu. Today the palace is a Museum and one of Hawaï’s most important historical
landmarks.
