Waialae Beach Park is the starting point for our Waialae-Kahala ceremonies about 150 yards up the beach. It's a beach park just outside of Waikiki and about 3 miles past Diamond Head.

If you or your guests are driving, the parking lot can fill up by 10 am or and you may need find street parking on Kahala Ave which is a distance so, we suggest getting there earlier. We suggest being dropped-off for this location especially if your ceremony is after 10 am.

If you're using a taxi or Uber, schedule 30 minutes (in the car) for travel from Waikiki to arrive before your contract "Meet Time".

Get on Kalakaua Ave. and stay in the right lane closest to the sidewalk and ocean. Drive through Waikiki and stay in the right most lane. Drive through the tree-line boulevard of Kapiolani Park past the water fountain on the left near the end where and the road curves left.

Make a right turn at the stop sign onto Diamond Head Road heading east. This will take you past the Diamond Head lookouts. Stay on this main road and make no turns.

The road morphs into Kahala Ave. and goes through a residential neighborhood of beach front homes for about 1.5 miles. Stay on this main road, no turns!

Go all the way to the stop sign at the end, there's only one! It's about 2 miles from Diamond Head. Drive straight through it and just over the canal on the right, you'll see the entrance to Waialae Beach Park.

Park and be ready to walk out to the beach at the "meet and start of coverage time" which is 15 minutes before the listed ceremony time on your contract.

We’ll be sitting on the picnic tables just off the parking lot watching for you. We'll greet you and walk up the beach about 200 yards where there are multiple spots available for your ceremony.

Note: If by taxi, Uber, or Lyft, please have them drop you off at the same spot we meet you. You also want to book your ride to ensure timely pick-up i.e. don't wait until the last minute.

Note: If you take a taxi to Waialae Beach Park, you can easily catch a cab back from the Kahala Hotel which is just up the beach. It's also a great place to have lunch.

Note: If you are staying at the Kahala Hotel, let us know and we can meet you out at one of the sites instead of you having to meet us at Waialae Beach Park. Walk to the corner of the hotel property heading west and you'll come to a sidewalk fronting a condominium. We'll see you.
