My girlfriend and I did a long weekend in Hawaii: 2 nights at the JW Ihilani and 2 nights at the Marriott Waikiki Beach. On top of it being a great weekend, we were fortunate enough to be there for the tsunami scare. I won’t recap the whole story for you. Check out here, here, and here if you need background. So while the tsunami (or lack thereof) kept us confined to our 24th floor hotel room and resulted in no waves whatsoever, we got some pretty cool footage of what Waikiki Beach, one of the most popular beaches in the world, looks like without a a single person on the beach. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing to see.
I put together some video footage above, and I have some images below. Enjoy!
Have you ever seen Waikiki so empty?
