Kalama Beach Park, 1 mile north of Kailua Beach Park on Kalaheo Ave, is the best place to park for a great walk. Climb over the grassy lawn to a much more residential stretch of sand. Weekdays there’s hardly a soul besides tan, fit locals walking their dogs and the occasional group

Eastern Columbia Building

Dade County Courthouse
If you end up on trial here, at least you’ll get a free tour of one of the most imposing courthouses in the USA. Built between 1925 and 1929, this a very…appropriate building: if structures were people, the courthouse would definitely be a judge. Some trivia: back in the day, the t

Historic Voodoo Museum
Of the (many) voodoo museums in the French Quarter, this one is probably our favorite. The narrow corridors and dark rooms, stuffed with statues, dolls and paintings, are something approaching spooky, and the information placards (seemingly written by anthropology dissertation cand

Congressional Cemetery

Beniamino Bufanos St Francis Statue
A winsome statue of SF’s favorite saint by its favorite sculptor – so what’s it doing in a parking lot? Technically this was only a model for Bufano’s massive black granite St Francis in Grace Cathedral, but there’s something so SF about this version with exposed toes hanging ten l

Twenty Mule Team Museum
Next door to Saxon Aerospace Museum, this low-budget museum is a haphazardly organized treasure trove of historic knickknacks: a 1930s beauty shop, products made with locally mined borax, watch fobs, belt buckles and memorabilia of the 2000 movie Erin Brockovich, which was filmed n

Stage Fort Park
There are two lovely, small beaches at Stage Fort Park : the picturesque Half-Moon Beach and the more remote Cressy’s Beach. The latter is a bit of a trek from the parking lot, but worth it to get away from the other bathing beauties. The park itself is an attractive, well-maintain
