Looking for the best places to get married in Hawaii? Many of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Hawaii are located on Oahu, and the beaches are all public. For small weddings in Hawaii, a popular choice is to stay at a resort in Waikiki, while having an elopement or vow renewal ceremony on a secluded beach here. Waikiki is on the south shore. There are also resorts on the West side, and Turtle bay resort on the north shore.

Hawaii is known for romance, and all the beach venues featured below are ideal for a small wedding, elopement, or vow renewal ceremony. So, if you’re considering having a small wedding in Hawaii, we hope exploring these beach locations will help you in planning your intimate ceremony.

If you’re staying in Waikiki, it’s very convenient to have your ceremony at Magic island! With iconic Diamond Head and Waikiki in view, this location is very picturesque. After your ceremony, we can walk across Magic island to get romantic sunset photos.

If you take the ocean road to the North shore, you’ll see Oahu’s most secluded coastline.  It’s secluded nature creates a feeling of timelessness. Due to this, you may decide this is ideal for your intimate ceremony. 

Paradise cove is a stunning beach venue for your ceremony. Above all, it’s known for having beautiful sunsets over the ocean. Whereby, the ocean rocks create a glassy still water pool that reflects the sunset. All in all, this beautiful beach creates an atmosphere that’s perfect for your romantic ceremony.

China Walls in Hawaii Kai is a 30-minute drive from Waikiki. The ocean waves crashing into the rocks causes the waves to splash really high into the air. This is fantastic for dramatic photos. A case of timing taking photos with the ‘set’s which you can see coming into the shore. It’s fun because you never know how high it’ll splash up.  Conveniently, this dramatic location has areas of flat rock to stand on that overlook the ocean. As you exchange your vows, you’ll be surrounded by the beauty of Hawaii. On top of that, you also get sunsets over the ocean from this area.  It’s a popular area for surfers, which, along with the waves,  adds to the sense of fun here.

Kawela bay is on Oahu’s North Shore. There’s roadside parking, and a short forest path leads you to the shimmering ocean. The soothing sound of waves further sets a tranquil mood for your ceremony. You can celebrate your love with this stunning scenery surrounding you. This is an ideal location if you’re saying on the North shore, and planning to have a small wedding in Hawaii.

Sandy beach is a very scenic 30-minute drive from Waikiki. It’s famous for body surfing. It’s also a great location for sunrise and mid-morning ceremonies. To avoid the sunlight being directly overhead, we reccommend  you avoid having your ceremony between 10:am and 2:00pm. Having your ceremony  between 2:00pm and 4:00 pm is also a good time. This is because you get vibrant ocean color and flatterring lighting too. The ocean’s vibrant colors create a breathtaking backdrop for your ceremony. There’s ample parking, restrooms, and beach showers which are handy for washing off sand. Your experience will be both enjoyable and memorable. With the spirit of aloha at Sandy Beach, every moment of your vows will be truly magical.
