East and West have long rubbed noses at this Pacific crossroads locals call "The Gathering Place". Honolulu creates an amazing mosaic of cultures and cuisines in an almost perfect climate. Palaces, pahu drums and sacred stones recall the land's Polynesian roots, once the flower of the Hawaiian monarchy. Its history's crowded with straight-laced missionaries and lusty whalers. From Jack Lord's Diamond Head to Elvis' Blue Hawaii, legend and romance abound. Despite Waikiki's bumper-to-bumper beaches and crowded concrete canyons, the fragrant gardens and public parks promise a green retreat. Verdant volcanic mountains scallop the skyline. Outrigger canoes, cruise ships and surfboards share sapphire waters. The urban-island residents show both a playful panache and a sophisticated side. Luxury resorts, renowned restaurants and extraordinary natural beauty satisfy even the most world-weary hedonists. No wonder eight million visit each year to enjoy everything under the sun.
