Is it ok to fly a drone on Oʻahu beaches?
Last updated:
Drone use at Hawaiʻi state beach parks and state monuments is prohibited (HAR §13-146) — including Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay, and most North Shore parks. Federal lands (Pearl Harbor, military beaches) ban drones outright. City & County beach parks need a permit. Fines start at $300; gear can be confiscated.
