Populars
is located off Helumoa, the section of Waikiki where the Sheraton and other hotels are now. Prior to its high-rise resort development, it was an area where many Hawaiians lived. They surfed directly offshore and named the site because it was the most popular place for them to surf. Also known as Pops.
