Ala Wai Boulevard
The Ala Wai Canal is a beautiful waterway at the western
entrance to Waikiki. Constructed in 1922, the canal drains
up to 150 inches of rainwater that falls in the mountains
above Waikiki each year. Prior to the completion of the
canal, south eastern coast of O'ahu was a swampland of fish
and duck ponds.

|
| |
After the canal was completed, the land
was reclaimed and the result was the most famous tourist
and beach area in the world - Waikiki. The walkway along
the canal is well-lit and perfect for jogging, strolling,
and relaxing. Most afternoons, outrigger crews can be seen
practicing along this beautiful waterway.

The beautiful Hawaii Convention Center,
golf courses, apartments, and condominiums line the long
stretch of waterway all the way to the ocean where it empties
into the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor.
