Honolulu County

A city-county centered on the island of Oʻahu, home to Honolulu and world-famous for Waikīkī Beach and Pearl Harbor.

The City and County of Honolulu covers the entire island of Oʻahu and is Hawaiʻi's state capital and most populous area. Waikīkī Beach is the classic resort area, Diamond Head can be climbed for views over the coast, Pearl Harbor National Memorial documents World War II history, and ʻIolani Palace is the only royal palace on U.S. soil. Hanauma Bay is good for snorkeling, the North Shore draws surfers with its huge winter waves, and northeastern valleys such as Kualoa Ranch have been used as film locations. The climate is warm year-round, so any time is a good time to visit. The gateway is Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, the main hub for travel to the other Hawaiian islands.
