How to get there

This drone image was taken of the Waimanalo Bay coastline and mountains on the island of Oahu.
From Kalaniana'ole Hwy (72), turn at the McDonalds onto Aloiloi St. and then drive straight toward the ocean (east). Before the road turns right, pull off to the side of the road on the left and you'll see a gate with an entrance to it. After going through the gate, walk about 50 yards to the water.
From there, you'll be able to launch your drone and capture a similar south-facing perspective of the coast and mountains.
