The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early

Check in at the Royal Hawaiian pool deck at least 15 minutes before your booking to secure a prime spot near the water.

Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Apply reef-safe sunscreen and reapply every two hours—Hawai‘i enforces protections for its coral reefs.

Pack Towels & Water

Towels aren’t provided; bring quick-dry towels and a refillable water bottle to stay comfortable throughout the day.

Mind the Sand

Wheelchairs and strollers can be difficult on soft sand—bring a beach mat or plan for assistance when moving across the beach.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Kaimana Beach (nearby, quieter for swimming and sunset views)
  • Walk the short path to Fort DeRussy Park for shade and picnic spots off the busy strip

Wildlife

  • Hawaiian green sea turtles (often seen offshore)
  • Occasional Hawaiian monk seals resting on quieter stretches

Conservation Note

Use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid standing on coral, and pack out trash—Waikiki’s reefs and shoreline habitats are fragile and actively protected.

The Royal Hawaiian opened in 1927 and helped shape Waikiki’s modern tourism era; Diamond Head is a volcanic tuff cone formed during Honolulu’s volcanic activity.
