Walk along Ala Wai Canal

Ala Wai canal was created in 1928 for the purpose of draining the rice paddies and swamps which would eventually become the tourist resort area of Waikiki.

The canal runs from just northwest of Kapahulu Avenue along the length of Waikīkī, then turns southwest to empty into the Pacific Ocean. Bridges cross the canal at McCully Street, Kalākaua Avenue, and Ala Moana Boulevard. Ala Wai Boulevard runs parallel to the canal in Waikiki.

My walk today will cover its entire length:

Starting at the Ilikai of course
