MACKENZIE BEACH

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. Unlike other locations, couples must apply to Hawaii State 45 days before their weddings to use this location. Don't stress, we assist with this simple process as part of your planning process.
