Then Waikiki is probably the worst place to stay. However it is the most convenient place to stay. I like all the beaches on the east coast and in the north but it might get boring there. Depending on how long you gonna stay on Oahu I would still recommend get a room in Waikiki and then rent a car to go to the other beaches.
If you are just there for a few days or you absolutely don't wanna stay in Waikiki you could look for something at one of the beaches in the east. Between Kailua Bay and Sandy Beach(good spot for body boarding).
I like Hanauma Bay too.
