Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa fronts one of the best spots of Kuhio Beach in Waikiki, which was recently widened by the State's sand replenishment project.Head Concierge Laurie Danford says her number one question from guests is how to entertain their toddlers. Danford often suggests going to Kuhio Beach, digging a big hole in the sand and letting their kid play in it. "I have so many parents thank me for that recommendation," she said.
For bigger kids and adults, Kuhio Beach is also a great place to take surfing lessons. Former professional surfer Tony Moniz shares his expertise at his Faith Riding Company Surf School, conveniently located in the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.
Open to riders of all levels, it's a safe and nurturing way to try one of Hawaii's most popular sports. You can bet you'll hang ten by the end of the session with surf champion Moniz who holds more than 50 international big wave trophies.
