⸺ ABOUT THE LOCATION

Planning Your Mauʻumae Beach Wedding

Mauʻumae is a hidden white sand beach with clear calm blue water on the Big Island, reached via the Spencer Beach Trail. The hike takes about 20 minutes over a rocky, uneven lava rock trail.

​

Why the Hike Is Required

The bridge to Mauʻumae burned down, so this beach is now accessible only by a rugged, hot hike from Spencer Beach. There's no shortcut and no vehicle access.

​

Who Can Hike In

Everyone attending — the couple, your guests, our team — must hike in and out. The trail is rugged, hot, and uneven over lava rock, so Mauʻumae is best for fit people and adventurers. Anyone with mobility, balance, or heat concerns should choose a different beach.

​

What You Get for the Hike

Beautiful fine white sand, clear calm blue water, brilliant sunsets, and the kind of privacy that comes with a beach only reachable on foot. Mauʻumae is perfect for intimate elopements and small family adventure weddings.

​

How to Book Mauʻumae

Because of the hike and the terrain, Mauʻumae is available only through our Adventure Packages or Black Sand Beach Elopement packages. This isn't a traditional beach ceremony — it's part of a longer adventure wedding experience.
