Oahu is the third largest of the Hawaiian islands, located southeast of Kauai. The most populous of the islands, Oahu is home to the state capital of Honolulu and its cosmopolitan surroundings. Historic sites like Iolani Palace and Bishop Museum contrast with modern luxury hotels and highrise apartments. The glittering skyline, along with the Diamond Head crater, form a stunning backdrop for Waikiki s popular beaches.
Not far from the shops, restaurants, and hotels of Honolulu and Waikiki Beach, the scenery changes to quiet beaches, green valleys, and mountain views. On the windward or east coast of the island, beaches like Kailua, Makapu u, and Lanikai offer white sand, shade trees, and waves for surfing, snorkeling, and bodyboarding. On the North Shore, visitors find more than seven miles of the famous beaches that attract surfers from around the world, especially during the winter months when the waves are big and challenging.

Ala Wai Canal dredging project delayed, meaning more late-night work expected
Ala Wai Canal dredging project delayed, meaning more late-night work expected By Samie Solina | February 8, 2021 at 7:13 AM HST - Updated February 8 at 7:27 AM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - After a change in the expected finish date for Ala Wai dredging project, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said residents should expect late-night work to continue, but the work should be quieter.
In October, the DLNR expected the dredging portion of the project to last until early 2021. The project is now expected to last until June.
According to the DLNR, the contractor installed noise reduction panels around the pump, replaced the jet pump with a quieter electric one and changed from a clamshell dredging operation to suction dredging to eliminate noise.

It probably dates to the 1920s, the same decade the two-mile-long canal was dug to drain Waikiki’s wetlands and create more buildable ground there.
