The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is one of the most beautiful, love hotels on the Big Island. The hotel fronts Kauanoe Beach – a white sand stunning beach that is family-friendly and steps from the hotel. When we staycation here on the Big Island, this is one of my family’s favorite spots! This isn’t an ad – we just seriously love this place. It is magical! https://maunakeabeachhotel.com/ And while you’re there – reach out to us! We’re your Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Premiere Photographers 😊
I have photographed over a hundred sessions at this gorgeous beach. High tide, low tide, big surf or water as calm as glass – we’ve seen it all. Our team will meet you in the lobby of the hotel and we’ll walk down to the beach together to find the perfect spot for your Mauna Kea Beach Photos.
Your first few days in Hawaii, I bet you’re waking up super early while you’re adjusting to the time difference. What do I always recommend? Grab a towel + swimsuit and head to the beach to watch the sunrise. Even the most popular beaches are usually empty so get ready for prime parking spots and a beach all to yourself. Can you tell this is one of the most popular beaches on the island? Not at 6 am!
Sunrise is also the perfect time for your Mauna Kea Photography session! This is the best way to beat the crowds and avoid any beachgoers ruining your family photos.
If you aren’t staying at the resort, you need to know that public access and parking to Mauna Kea beach is so limited that in the summer if you aren’t there by 7 am, you most likely will be turned away because the parking lot is full. So set your alarms if you want to grab a spot at this popular beach. The plus side is it will be SO worth it! Is your alarm set yet?!
