 To reach this spot, turn makai (towards the sea) from Nimitz Hwy. or Aolele St. onto Lagoon Dr. and follow it until it ends.  This location is also accessable by bus:  Take route 31 "Kalihi Lagoon Dr" and get off at Lagoon Dr. and Palekona St., then continue walking down Lagoon Dr. to the parking lot.

+===Ke'ehi Lagoon Beach Park===
+This beach park located near the airport can provide good views of operations.  A parking lot at the entrance to the park, next to the tennis courts, provides a good place to watch operations, particularily 8L, 22L, and 22R departures, and 26L, 4L, and 4R arrivals.  It is however too distant for photography.
+You can also continue down the road through the park to the end, and then walk to the beach.  There you can see aircraft departing on 8L and 8R, and arriving on 26L and 26R.  Departures will generally be too high, but arrivals, especially for 26R, can be low enough to photograph if you have a long enough lens.
+There is a public restroom located in the park, should the need arise.
+===Aloha Tower===
+The observation deck at the top of Aloha Tower, located in Downtown Honolulu, allows views to the airport, though aircraft will be too distant for photography.  Departures on 8R will seem to fly almost straight towards the tower as they lift off, before beginning their right turn.
