Amazing private beach right by turtle cove. We snorkels every day with a dozen or more sea turtles. The water was a bit stirred up due to the current but still amazing to see the turtles close. They …Full review by kbailey1088

My husband and I went to this beach today. I stayed mostly on the shore to read, occasionally wading into the water but not beyond neck deep. Fantastic experience. He went down to the south side to…Full review by Lcarlson2001

Turning off the road, the parking lot slopes down towards the beach. The lot consists of mainly hard dirt, gravel & some sand. I believe a wheelchair should be fine loading and unloading in the lot. The pretty beach is directly next to the parking lot. A wheelchair would have difficulty getting to the water but would easily be enjoyed at the edge of the parking lot where the sand meets the lot.
my fiancee and I are planning a weekday sunset wedding in March and are curious if this is a very busy time, also if it is pleasant weather-wise. we understand Hawaii is popular for weddings and we will have to share, we are just looking for relatively low traffic and as sedately private as we can find on a public beach. thanks!

Po'olenalena, would be perfect in terms of a more secluded, lower traffic beach. This is especially true as you go from the parking lot towards the water, to the right. I've witnessed one wedding there, as opposed to many at other more public beaches. What you need to be prepared for is that the path from the parking lot is a little rough, so I'm not sure how that would work with wedding attire. However, another option, that is more accessible is the more open stretch of beach adjacent to the parking lot. Option A and B ;0)
We are thinking of using this beach for a mid-November wedding ceremony. Is this a good location? It will be at sunset/dusk. I don't want to worry about a lot of people around or see buildings in the backdrop. Any input is appreciated.

There are many weddings on this beach, I've seen them myself. There must be a reason why they chose this beach! Lots of shade for folks. The photos can easily be taken without buildings in the way. It's a beach for all occasions It would be fair to say that the best beaches attract one and all but it's spread out so you would easily have your own space. There's a reason why they have buildings nearby for those who want a piece of Paradise to come to. Locals love it.
