Coconut Waikiki Hotel’s guidebook
Sightseeing
Everyone knows you should visit Pearl Harbor, but one of our staff who used to work at the National Park had some tips to make your trip even better: There are lots of tours you can join, but to save money and time, just hop on a bus or shuttle and go on your own. Get there right when they open and get your ticket to the USS Arizona Memorial right away so you don’t have to wait hours for your admission time. And don’t miss the tour of the Pacific Aviation Museum, where you can talk to an actual survivor of Pearl Harbor on Saturdays and Thursdays.

Although it’s about half an hour away by car, this pineapple empire might be worth a drive if you’re traveling with kids. The enormous store itself is worth a visit, with gifts, handcrafts, and food items galore. (It’s one of the best smelling stores you’ll ever visit.) There’s a pineapple maze and the Pineapple Express Train Tour, both with a separate admission.

In the Hawaiian Hall of this fascinating museum, you’ll find over a million Polynesian artifacts that tell the story of Hawaii. There’s also a planetarium and Science Adventure Center — complete with an erupting volcano — that’s a hit with the kids. In other words, bring the whole family.

Beaches
Despite the fact that this is many locals’ favorite beach, it’s rarely crowded. The currents can be strong, which means it’s not always ideal for swimming (ask the lifeguard), but you can’t beat the scenery: it’s set in a cove-like bay against a mountain of black lava rock crowned by a lighthouse. (Bring your camera!)

Hit the North Shore at this gorgeous beach that’s famous for big-wave surfing. In the summer, the water is calm enough for swimming and snorkeling, but in the winter months, the waves pick up and the surfers come out to play. It’s amazing to watch, and at the end of the day, you’ll be rewarded with the beach’s other claim to fame: sunset.

Try a different side of the island at Kailua Beach Park. A beautiful drive up Highway 61, this park has white sand beaches and full facilities for you and your family. Just down the road is beautiful Lanikai beach, which doesn’t have parking or facilities, but is a gorgeous slice of island.

Just a few miles away from Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana has the same golden-sand beaches, the same view of Diamond Head, but a totally different vibe. There’s nearly a mile’s worth of beach, so there’s plenty of room to spread out, picnic, and play beach volleyball. Swimming is great here, too: the seawalls and outer reef provide protection, making the water perfectly calm.

One of the most famous beaches in the world, and with good reason. The beautiful setting includes golden sand beaches and views of Diamond Head crater, and you can swim, sun, snorkel, or surf, all within the same area. With its gentle slope and pool-like conditions, it’s even great for wading with little ones, especially near the seawall in the Kuhio Beach section.

Food scene
Made famous way back in 1925 in a Charlie Chan novel (they’ve been open since 1917), this beachfront restaurant and bar has an expansive patio where people flock to watch the sunset each night, with live Hawaiian music and signature mai tais making for a perfectly memorable evening. (Don’t let the “bar” part fool you: it’s all about the music and the sunset, so you can bring your kids with a clear conscience.)
