Waikiki Beach extends for around 2 miles long, and there is a Banan that is near the far end of Waikiki Beach, on the Hilton Hawaiian Village side. (This is also the side of the Waikiki fireworks! In fact, a perfect spot to watch the Waikiki fireworks is the beach in front of Banan!)

More specifically, the beachfront resort to reference for the Banan along Waikiki Beach is the Outrigger Reef.

You can very easily walk from the beach to the Banan.

You can buy your food and then eat at the beach, one of the Fort DeRussy Beach Park tables, or the grassy area of the park!
