Nukolii Beach

Nukolii Beach is a quiet, secluded spot on Kauai’s east side, conveniently located near the Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort, between Lihue and Wailua/Kapaa. Its small size and low foot traffic make it ideal for intimate weddings, proposals or photo sessions seeking privacy.

The beach features a few trees providing minimal shade and easy access to parking at the nearby resort. Like all beaches in Hawaii, it is public and open to anyone, though parking is usually at least a five-minute walk away. Keep this in mind if you have a long wedding dress or elderly or disabled guests, as accessibility is limited.

Best for: secluded ceremonies, intimate weddings, private photo sessions and couples looking for a peaceful beach setting.
