Surfing at Queens Beach
While surfing is popular all over Waikiki Beach, Queens Beach is home to gentle waves closer to shore, and you’ll find many outfits offering surfing lessons here.

And further up is the popular Queens, a favorite of intermediate surfers.
Sunbathing
With finely powdered golden sands and plenty of shade from the tall and swaying palm trees, you’ll find plenty of secluded spots to spread your beach towel and catch some rays!

Swimming
Not into surfing? Swimming in the warm tropical waters off Queens Beach shore is a great way to cool off.
Other Activities
And if you’re vacationing with family or as a group, there are grassy areas for picnicking or volleyball courts for some beach volleyball.
The Waikiki Aquarium, Kapiolani Park and Honolulu Zoo are also nearby and a great way to keep the kids occupied.
Dining Near Queens Beach
As with the other Waikiki beaches, finding something eat is usually not a problem. But if you’re picky, try Tiki’s Grill & Bar or Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar, both of which offer some delicious dishes.
Barefoot Beach Cafe is a more casual option offering seafood, burgers and smoothies.
