Oahu, also known as "The Gathering Place," is the third largest Hawaiian island and home to some of Hawaii's most popular attractions. From the famous Waikiki Beach to the historic Pearl Harbor site, Oahu offers a wide range of activities and experiences for visitors and residents alike. In this article, we will explore some of the best attractions that Oahu has to offer. Waikiki Beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world, known for its crystal clear waters and soft, white sand. Located in the heart of Honolulu, Waikiki is surrounded by high rise hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers, making it a popular destination for tourists. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as surfing, stand up paddleboarding, and sunbathing. Diamond Head is a volcanic crater located on the eastern edge of Waikiki, offering stunning panoramic views of the island. Visitors can hike up to the summit of Diamond Head for breathtaking views of the coastline and Honolulu skyline.
Pearl Harbor is a historic site on the island of Oahu and home to the USS Arizona Memorial. The memorial honors the 1,177 sailors and Marines who died aboard the USS Arizona during the surprise attack by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Visitors can take a tour of the memorial and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to learn more about the attack and the events leading up to World War II. The North Shore of Oahu is famous for its world class surf breaks and picturesque beaches. During the winter months, the waves can reach heights of up to 30 feet, attracting surfers from all over the world. Hanauma Bay is a protected marine sanctuary located on the southeast coast of Oahu. The bay is home to a variety of marine life, including colorful fish, sea turtles, and coral reefs.
The Honolulu Zoo is located in Waikiki and home to over 900 animals from around the world. Visitors can explore the different habitats, including the African Savanna, Tropical Rainforest, and Pacific Islands, and see a variety of animals such as lions, tigers, elephants, and monkeys. The average sale price of a home in Oahu is around $800,000, although prices can vary depending on the location, size, and amenities of the property. Luxury homes in areas such as Kahala and Diamond Head can command prices upwards of $10 million. Oahu's strong tourism industry and limited supply of land make it a valuable market for real estate investment. Properties in popular areas such as Waikiki, Kahala, and Diamond Head have shown steady appreciation over time, making them a sound investment for those looking for long term growth.
