Honolulu

Meaning "sheltered bay" in Hawaiian, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city, as well as the center for commerce, government and transportation for the state. A thriving city (and home of 80% of the state's population) Honolulu is a main jumping off point for many tourists looking to explore other Hawaiian islands. The city is also home to Hawaii's best known tourist destination at Waikiki beach, where tall hotels and resorts flank a beautiful beach.
