Beautiful Kailua Kona, Hawaii - Big Island Beach Wedding Locations

At Simple Hawaii Elopements, we specialize in creating beautiful, stress-free weddings at an affordable price. Our goal is to make your Hawaii beach wedding as effortless and meaningful as possible. If you’re planning a simple Hawaii wedding in Kailua-Kona along the scenic Ali‘i Drive shoreline, you’ll enjoy no travel fees when you choose one of our local beach locations below. Keep it simple, beautiful, and true to what matters most—your love.

Kona Old Airport
Kona Old Airport Beach is conveniently located in the heart of Kailua-Kona, offering easy access, ample parking, and walk-up accessibility for all guests. There is no guest limit for ceremonies, and pavilions can be reserved in advance through Hawaii County for personal use.
This beach is perfect for larger family weddings or couples who want more space, fewer restrictions, and the ability to include chairs, arches, music, and extended ceremony time beyond the typical two-hour limit found at other beaches.
Holualoa Beach
Holualoa Beach, tucked away in the heart of Kailua-Kona, is a hidden gem that many locals don’t even know about. This intimate beach is tide- and surf-dependent and requires a short rock scramble to access.
During calmer seasons, Holualoa is perfect for a small elopement or family wedding, offering privacy and natural beauty. Guests attending a ceremony here should be able to navigate unsteady terrain, making it ideal for adventurous couples seeking a unique and intimate Hawaiian setting.
Honls Beach
Honl’s Beach, a tucked-away location in the heart of Kailua-Kona, is ideal for couples seeking a morning wedding. This beach offers soft white sand, bright blue waters, and occasional surf (and surfers!), making it perfect for those who want a picturesque Hawaii wedding close to town.
La`aloa Magic Sands
Laʻaloa Beach, also known as Magic Sands, is a small beach in the heart of Kailua-Kona, best suited for couples planning an early morning wedding. This beach features soft white sand, bright blue waters, and occasional surf, making it a beautiful choice for couples wanting to stay close to town.
The sand at Magic Sands changes seasonally—from soft sand in summer and fall to rocks in winter and spring—and the beach can become crowded from mid-morning through sunset, so early ceremonies are recommended for privacy and the best photos.

Private Venue
A Private Venue is any location where you invite our team to provide wedding or elopement services onsite. This can include a vacation rental, resort, private property, or any other location suitable for your ceremony. Our service area covers Keauhou to Old Kona Airport, ensuring a convenient and personalized experience for your special day. Travel feels apply outside this region.
