Right on Waikiki, I think it is just across from the Pacific Beach Hotel on Kalakaua, it's near the Duke statue, there is a great beach for small children. It is cordoned off with a barrier out in the ocean several feet from shore and also by a rock divider about 3 or feet tall that goes from the sidewalk out to the other barrier so the waves are very low, almost non-existant and the water is very shallow and calm. If you get there when it's not high tide there's a rock walkway (the one that goes from the sidewalk out to the other barrier) that you can walk out on and there's a little beach area all by itself. I took my kids there when they were 2 & 4 years old way back in 1986! They loved it and I was confident they were safe, we had no problems at all except the one day when we stayed a little too late and the tide started coming in and got our towels all wet! I was thrilled this summer when I walked down there and saw the little area is still there and still the same.

Kuhio Beach is perfect for kids. There's a man made wall that stops the breakers and keeps the water calm as a saltwater pool. I believe kids stay free at the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel too. Also we rented underwater digital cameras for snorkeling there, real cheap, less than a disposable.
