Honolulu, Hawaii is a city on a fairly large island and in no way occupies all of Oahu. While most of the social action occurs in Honolulu, it by no means is the only place with activity. Honolulu and Waikiki Beach in particular are crowded and in many ways very touristy but there is an entire island to explore, including the North Shore with its famous Bonsai Pipeline. |
