Holualoa Beach is a small, tucked away beach in the heart of Kailua Kona Hawaii and is is one of my favorite locations for an intimate, secluded elopement. Right off Alii Drive, it is the perfect spot for couples staying in town who want to be married in a private, rustic wedding location.

Many of our couples say, "In Hawaii, every beach is a beautiful beach to be married on!" And while it's hard to disagree, there is something incredibly magical about being married under the setting summer sun on a beach in Kailua Kona, Big Island.
