WAIKIKI BEACH - COVID-19

WAIKIKI BEACH

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Wanted to share some photos of what the normally busy Waikiki Beach looks like today during the COVID-19 Pandemic.  So sad to see all of the hotels, restaurants and businesses shuttered and boarded up.  Knowing that many of these small businesses won't make it back breaks my heart.

Knowing all of these hotel, restaurant and hospitality and travel workers are unemployed makes me sick. This is bad, really bad.  The normally packed Kalakaua Avenue is empty and void of tourists.  There are no Hula Dancers, Live music at Duke's, Mai Tai's by the pool or Japanese tourists spending money in the high end shops and turning red with sunburn.  There is no life.   

AFTER MONTHS WE WERE ABLE TO WALK ON THE BEACH AS A FAMILY
