Other Photogenic Spots
Apart from Waikiki Beach, Kuhio Beach and Fort DeRussy Beach are also high on the radar of surf-lovers or those trying their hand for the first time with surf lessons.
About a 15-minute drive from Waikiki, Diamond Head State Monument provides a scenic morning or afternoon hike on the edge of the crater of a 300,000-year-old volcanic "tuff" cone. The 2.5km round-trip walk to the summit is well worth the effort for the sublime views.
