Oahu is the third-largest island within the Hawaiian Islands, home to more than one million residents throughout its 596 square miles.
The island is home to the state's capital city, Honolulu, which is known for its high-rise hotels, iconic crescent peaches, and Waikiki cultural and nightlife district.
Nearby, several attractions honor the 1941 Pearl Harbor bombing, including the USS Arizona Memorial. 227 miles of shoreline are showcased throughout the island, which is home to the Wai‘anae and Ko'olau Range shield volcanoes.
The island's highest point, Ka'ala, reaches more than 4,000 feet above sea level.
A number of historic attractions are preserved throughout the island, including former sugar cane plantations and Iolani Palace, the former residence of Hawai‘ian royalty prior to the incorporation of the islands into the United States.
