How to Make the Most of This Gorgeous Weather
If there’s ever a weekend to take full advantage of Hawaii’s outdoor lifestyle, this is it. Here are some of the best ways to soak up the sunshine:
1. Start Your Morning at the Beach
With calm waters and clear skies, the beaches will be at their best. If you want to beat the crowds, head out early to Lanikai Beach or Waimanalo for a peaceful start to the day. Waikiki will be busier, but the ocean will be warm, and the waves will be just right for a swim or a paddleboard session.
2. Take in the Views from a Scenic Hike
With the sun shining and a nice breeze in the air, hiking conditions will be ideal. Diamond Head offers unbeatable views of the city and ocean, while the Manoa Falls Trail is a great option for a shaded walk through the lush rainforest. If you’re up for a challenge, the Koko Crater stairs will definitely get your heart pumping, but the view from the top is 100% worth it.
3. Enjoy a Sunset Dinner by the Water
Evenings will be warm, breezy, and perfect for outdoor dining. Grab a seat at Duke’s for live music and oceanfront views, or head to House Without a Key for a mai tai at sunset. If you’re in the mood for something more casual, a picnic at Ala Moana Beach Park is a great way to soak in the scenery without the restaurant crowds.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- Sunscreen Is Your Best Friend: Even if there are some clouds, the sun in Hawaii is no joke. Protect your skin so you don’t end up looking like a lobster by the end of the day.
- Stay Hydrated: It’s easy to forget to drink water when you’re having fun in the sun, but don’t let dehydration sneak up on you. Bring a bottle with you, especially if you’re hiking.
- Expect Some Crowds: With weather this good, locals and tourists alike will be heading outdoors. If you’re going to a popular spot, plan ahead and get there early to snag a good spot.
Final Thoughts
This is the kind of weather that makes people fall in love with Hawaii. Warm but comfortable, sunny but breezy, and absolutely perfect for anything you want to do outside. Whether you’re heading to the beach, hitting the trails, or just lounging under the palm trees with a good book, this weekend is going to be one for the books. So grab your sunglasses, put on some sunscreen, and get out there—paradise is waiting!
