Best Photo Locations on Oahu, Hawaii

If you didn't take a picture..did it really happen?

These are my personal favorite picture perfect spots on the Island of O‘ahu. I was able to find these places on an Island Tour and at the AirBnb I was staying at.

First stop is Waimānalo Beach Park.

This location was so stunning with the palm trees and mountain backdrop. It is a bit windy so I'd recommend having your hair tied up.

Second stop is Makapuu Beach Park.

Fun fact, did you know that Hawaii's natural coastline is made of these black rocks due to lava flow? The soft sand we all love is actually imported from places like Australia!

Third stop, the most unexpected photo opp was located at the PESCA Waikiki Beach. The glass elevator ride up and down is breathtaking especially during sunrise and sunset.
