This spot on Waikiki Beach is where all of the action is! Located between the Royal Hawaiian Center and the famous seafood restaurant, Duke's, there's a high density of people along the beach, which makes for a great spot to capture the oceanfront liveliness from an aerial perspective.

This look down drone image was taken above Waikiki Beach. This shoreline is in the heart of Waikiki and before launching my drone, I tried to find spot that was farther away from people so I could fly without disturbing anyone — or have anyone disturbing me.
Parking in Waikiki is tricky and can be expensive so I usually try to find parking at the Honolulu Zoo public parking lot (21.271478, -157.821132) and then walk directly west to the beach.
