Hanauma Bay
Just east of Honolulu around the southeastern tip of the island is Hanauma Bay, one of the state's best known snorkeling spots and most picturesque scenic overlooks.
The coral at Hanauma Bay has suffered from years of human contact, but the fish are still plentiful.

Koko Head

Koko Head Trail
It's also possible to hike to the top of Koko Head, but it's not a trail for the faint of heart. The "trail" actually consists of an old WWII railroad track that goes in a straight line all the way up to the summit. The higher it gets, the stepper it gets, making for a very challenging hike. The views from above are worth the effort!

Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail
Just a few miles away from Koko Head is the Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail, a much easier hike with its own impressive views of the Windward coastline.

Mt Ka'ala

Aloha Stadium
Crowds fill Aloha Stadium for University of Hawaii football.
The stadium doubles as the
site for a huge flea market on weekends.

Windward Beaches
While Waikiki Beach suffocates under the weight of thousands of tourists, just a short drive away are entire stretches of coastline where you can have a beach all to yourself.
Local girls at play.
AH6HY taking a break from the pileups!
