island oahu
Oahu is number three in size among its fellow islands in the Hawaiian chain, but it is first in population.
Almost half inhabit the bustling city of Honolulu and nearby resort town of Waikiki. Oahu is also the most visited of all the Hawaiian islands, at approximately 4.5 to 4.7 million visitors annually - that's approximately half of all the visitors to the state each year.
Oahu is primarily defined by the state capital of Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, and the famous beach known as Waikiki.

Oahu boasts a fantastic climate, inexpensive accommodations, a large variety of shopping options, and world renown beaches - it's fair to say the island lures in visitors from around the world.
Honolulu is the state's capital and major financial center. It is also home to the main campus of the University of Hawaii. Honolulu wasn't always the main seat. Until 1845 the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom was located on the island of Maui. King Kamehameha III ordered the move and the Iolani Palace was built later. |
