Need to locate a private beach location in Oahu, HI for small wedding with 8 to 10 guest, any suggestions? -
All beaches on Oahu are by law public, and required to have public access. That said, some are more public than others, primarily if there is parking nearby, easy access and view from the road.How isolated do you want to be, just not crowded ? If you want close to town, you should look at the Kahala Resort, which is about 10 minutes from Waikiki, but almost no one uses the beach except for people staying at the resort, or for wedding parties like yourself. They are very used to wedding parties here for the reason you state (secluded). However, you will obviously not be by yourself here.http://www.kahalaresort.com/On the North Shore, the Turtle Bay Resort also has a quiet beach. In addition, you can walk or ride horses to portions of the beach with no one on them if you go clockwise from the resort, where the main road goes inland a bit away from the coast...ask the concierge about this. There are other isolated beaches on North Shore going counter-clockwise from Haleiwa towards Kaena Point (the road dead-ends here, so few people come over this far), but it can be very windy here, with turbulent waves in winter.http://www.turtlebayresort.com/Stay away from the Makaha (leeward) coast outside of the Ko Olina resort area. Due to the poor economy there are a lot of homeless people there, theft has become unfortunately common there.
