Kuki`o Beach
We love Kuki`o Beach in Kailua Kona because it is a secluded white sand beach offering Maui and Mauna Kea views. This location is one of the most secluded in all of West Hawaii. Parking is plentiful here. Most of the year, this location is dry, so it is a great spot for couples who are looking for a sunny Hawaii beach wedding. Due to its desert location, midday weddings should be avoided. Kuki`o Beach is our top beach recommendation due to seclusion, beauty, and proximity to Kona.
Kikaua Point
Kikaua Point Park in Kailua Kona is a private beach park accessed via The Four Seasons Resort. Due to this, only one wedding a day can occur here. To have your wedding at this location, a special use permit is required, which we can apply for for you. Only 20 persons (couple and all vendors) max are allowed, and no large passenger vehicles are allowed, so plan accordingly. This park allows seating, arches, and offers an intimate setting with grass, sand, and palms. It is a perfect location for elopements and small weddings.
Kona Old Airport
Kona Old Airport Beach boasts a location in the heart of Kailua Kona with easy access, plenty of parking, and walk up accessibility for all guests. There is a no-guest maximum for ceremonies here and pavilions can be rented in advance by Hawaii County for personal use. This is a perfect location for larger groups, with big family weddings who may want space, less restrictions, chairs, arches, music, and more time than two hours that other beaches limit couples to.
Holualoa Beach
Holualoa Beach is an intimate beach right in the heart of Kailua-Kona. Many locals do not even know where this spot is! This spot is dependent on tides and surf & requires a rock scramble to reach. During calm season it is great for an elopement or small family wedding. Everyone attending a wedding at this location should be able to walk on unsteady terrain.
Honls Beach
This tucked away spot in the heart of Kailua Kona town is best suited for couples looking to be married in the morning. For those looking for a location offering white sand, bright blue ocean, and occasional surf (and surfers), Honl's beach is a great choice for those hoping to stay close to Kailua Kona.
Anaeho`omalu Bay
Anaeho`omalu Bay, or Waikoloa Beach fronts the Marriott Hotel in Waikoloa. This large beach is beautiful and secluded during early mornings and is great for couples and families near Waikoloa. Just to the south is a cove, perfect for elopements. This location is very convenient for couples who do not want to travel far from Waikoloa.
Coconut Grove
Accessed Via the Fairmont Orchid, Coconut Grove is a little tucked away spot is great for a family wedding looking for a setting close to their hotel with white sand and bright sunsets. Foot traffic is fairly high at this location, so if you are desiring a more intimate setting for your wedding, keep looking. Review travel fees to this location.
La`aloa Magic Sands
This tucked away spot in the heart of Kailua Kona town is best suited for couples looking to be married in the morning. For those looking for a location offering white sand, bright blue ocean, and occasional surf (and surfers), Honl's beach is a great choice for those hoping to stay close to Kailua Kona.

Black Sand Beach, Waterfall
+ Adventure Wedding Locations
Mackenzie Park
Mackenzie State Recreation Area in Pahoa offers a scenic lava cliff face over the Pacific Ocean. Located along Hawaii Big Island's East Riff Zone of Kilauea Volcano, this spot is rugged and impressively beautiful. Black lava rock covers most of the area and the location offers depths of ironwood forest which hug the inland. With high cliffs and rushing East Hawaii waves, it is perfect for thrill seekers at heart looking for an off the beaten path destination.
Kiholo Bay
Kiholo Bay Beach is a rocky black sand in Kailua Kona, offering a secluded black sand beach with ocean access and stunning sunsets. This beach requires a special use permit with a minimum 45 day lead time. We can help you with this application. The road to Kiholo is a little rough and a vehicle with clearance is recommended.
Mahai'ula Bay
Off the beaten path Mahai`ula Beach is the most lovely white sand beach on Hawaii. This beach requires a 4wd to access the initial .5 mile hike to the beach. Special Use Permit required.
Kehena Beach
Kehena Black Sand Beach, Deanna's favorite of all Adventure and Black Sand Beach Wedding locations, is a fine black sand beach in Pahoa, HI. With the stark contrast of rocky cliff faces, bright ocean blue waters, fine black sand, and big palms, this beach checks all the boxes for couples looking for a special adventure elopement. Be mindful, it rains here most evenings and this beach is clothing optional. Deanna recommends early morning for best weather and to avoid crowds. This beach location in East Hawaii is where the sun rises but does not set. A short but steep hike is required to reach Kehena Beach.
Punalu`u Beach
Punalu`u Black Sand Beach in the Ka`u District is at the southernmost tip of Hawaii. This location is just 20 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Weather is variable at this location. This beach is made of fine black sand and lava rocks, with a small pond behind the beach. The north end of this beach offers intimate tide pools, better for a secluded elopement or small family wedding. This beach is crowded midday with tourists and locals.
