About This Camera

This live camera sweeps across the crescent shoreline of Waikiki Beach with the iconic profile of Diamond Head crater anchoring the eastern end of the frame. The turquoise water is dotted with surfers riding the gentle rolling breaks that made Waikiki the birthplace of modern surfing, while outrigger canoes and stand-up paddleboards glide across the calmer inner waters.

The beach is framed by a wall of high-rise hotels and resort towers, their white facades reflecting the tropical sun. Coconut palms line the shore, and the golden sand is dotted with colorful beach umbrellas and towels. Lifeguard towers in their classic yellow and red paint keep watch over the swimmers.

Hawaiian sunsets are a nightly spectacle here, as the sun drops into the Pacific and paints the sky in layers of amber, coral, and violet. The silhouettes of sailboats and catamarans on sunset cruises add to the postcard-perfect composition.

Location Facts

Waikiki means 'spouting fresh water' in Hawaiian, referring to springs that once flowed through the area. The beach was once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty. Diamond Head crater was formed roughly 300,000 years ago in a single volcanic eruption. Duke Kahanamoku, born in Waikiki in 1890, is credited with popularizing surfing worldwide. Waikiki's two-mile stretch generates over 42 percent of Hawaii's tourism revenue.
