#40: The Reality of Waikiki Beach
Hawaii, a dream vacation destination for many, has tried channeling tourists to places like Waikiki Beach to protect its native culture. Nevertheless, this approach hasn’t satisfied locals or discerning travelers, turning Waikiki into an overrated destination to sidestep.

Waikiki Beach, now a tourist magnet, mirrors other American beaches with skyrocketing prices, portraying a facade of exclusivity. To genuinely experience Hawaii’s charm, visitors are better off exploring unique sites like the Na Pali Coast and Lanai Lookout.
