“” The scenery looks like something out of a painting, the kind of place that almost feels too beautiful to exist outside of imagination.”

From the reviews

This is a lovely park it can't get busy on the weekends. We sell lots of people camping when we were there. It has bathroom facilities if you need them and a lovely view of the ocean that when the surf gets rough can show some impressive waves shooting up from the rocks.

We visited this mystic Hawai'ian Beach Park during our stay on Hawai'i (aka Big Island). The sea is rough, hence, going for a swim would be very bad advice. The black lava rocks are fascinating. The park is very clean and certainly worth a visit.

★★★★★ — Walter, Mar 2025

Absolutely gorgeous views. Jagged cliffs, black rock shore. We went early and there was not a crowd. Picnic tables available and lots of places to view nature at its finest. Bathrooms need a tidy up.

★★★★★ — Linda, Oct 2025

Hidden gem, a must visit. It was very scenic just getting to the park. Loved the winding hill and scenery at the park was fantastic.

Getting married at Laupāhoehoe Beach Park

Laupāhoehoe Beach Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
