Seventy percent of Hawaii's residents live on Oahu, where Honolulu is the capital city, the principal port, and the business, financial, educational and tourism centre of the State. Most residents of Oahu live in the urban area along the southern shore, with the rest of the island being rural or suburban. Towering green cliffs and lush tropical foliage dominate the scenic windward coast. World-famous surfing beaches dot the north shore.
The majority of gay nightclubs and businesses are in the Waikiki area, Honolulu's urban beach resort famous for its stretch of reef-protected white sand beach and wide variety of hotels, restaurants, shops and nightlife.
Waikiki's very popular gay beach aptly named Queen's Surf is located in Kapiolani Park at the end of Waikiki towards Diamond Head. It's very easy to find, just enter the park from Waikiki and walk along the beach. You'll know when you've found it, but the Beach House snack bar is a good landmark to look for. This is a wide-open public park and therefore, this is not a nude beach.
Hulas Bar and Lei stand is now located at 134 Kapahulu Avenue in Waikiki in the second story of the Waikiki Grand Hotel, Hawaii’s most famous gay bar continues to offer everything for which it has always been famous.
