Easily Hawaii's most-recognized landmark, Lē'ahi, or Diamond Head, is the unmistakable profile you can see to the east from Waikiki. It got its name from Westerners who mistook the calcite crystals in the summit crater for diamonds.

Lē'ahi is surrounded by almost 500 acres of Diamond Head State Monument, which is open only from 6am-6pm. If you are not a Hawai'i resident with Hawai'i ID, you must make advance reservations online before you visit; entry is $5 per person for non-residents, and $10 per vehicle if you are driving. Make reservations here: gostateparks.hawaii.gov/diamondhead

Hawaii's most recognizable landmark is known for its historic walking trail, stunning coastal views and military history. Diamond Head State Monument covers over 475 acres, including the inner and outer slopes of the crater.
