Waikiki Beach Look Down

avatar
@vincelimphoto
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. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

How to get there

N21° 16' 35.7996"W157° 49' 42.0996"
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.
