Like you said, the beach is obvious, but there are other 'touristy' places that are worth seeing. Pearl Harbor is crowded but worth going to if you have time. The Punch Bowl Cemetary is a cool place. It is a WWII cemetary in the shell of an extinct volcano. Very solemn and contemplative with awesome views. If you have transporation try taking the Pali highway to the other (less populated) side of the island. The views as you exit the Pali tunnel are spectacular. Once you get away from Honolulu, you really start to get the island feel. Drive along the North Shore and stop and watch the surf. This is the time of year that the 25 footers start rolling in from Tokyo. Go have dim sum in China town.
