The sunrise is as beautiful as the sunset. It's casual all the way. Women dress casually for just about anything except for dinner at the most exclusive restaurants. Even then, men can get away with a short sleeved Hawaiian shirt and pants. Shoes are optional almost everywhere except, again, at exclusive restaurants.
Most locals opt for zorries, rubber slippers, or sandals.
Don't be surprised to see bikini-clad women out shopping on their way to and from the beach. Hawaii is known as the melting pot of America where diverse ethnic cultures coexist. Caucasians are in the minority, with Asians being the most predominant. The military has a large presence on O'ahu. Because Hawaii's main business is tourism, we cater to the finest, most discriminating tastes in the world.
