Sunset Beach
PARKING - Parking is usually easy to find and there is only a short walk from the parking area to the ceremony site.
BEST CEREMONY TIMES - 9 am or 4pm. Earlier ceremonies always mean less crowds which also means emptier beaches and less people in your photos. During certain times of the year this spot is also known for having very pretty sunsets. If you're going for a sunset wedding it is best to have the ceremony 1-2 hours before sunset. Best during summer months (less crowds with smaller surf).
DIRECTIONS: From Waikiki take the H1 Freeway north, following signs to the North Shore. Continue north until you reach Sunset Beach. About a 1.5-2 hour drive depending on the time of day and year. This area can get very crowded during the winter when the surf is up.
