Hawaii Beach Wedding Venues
97 venues across 4 islands
97 wedding venues across all four Hawaiian islands for toes-in-the-sand ceremonies, priced from $ to $$$$. A true on-the-sand ceremony at a public beach needs a state DLNR or county permit and caps the guest count; resort beachfront lawns handle the permit for you and lift most of those limits. Both kinds are listed here across all four islands. By island: Oahu 34 · Maui 23 · Big Island 18 · Kauai 22. On AlohaCalendar: Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa and Baldwin Beach Park.
