Shipwrecks Beach

Shipwrecks Beach, also known as Keoneloa Bay, is a long, scenic beach located in Poipu on Kauai’s sunny south shore. Its warm, dry climate makes it a great year-round choice for weddings, proposals and photo sessions. The beach is popular due to its proximity to large resorts, especially the Hyatt, and its great surf – so you may find other weddings or beachgoers nearby.

Despite its popularity, Shipwrecks offers unique opportunities for spectacular photos. A cliff at one end provides elevated vantage points without much effort, perfect for capturing dramatic shots of your ceremony or the coastline. Its south shore location ensures consistent sun and blue skies, making it one of the most picturesque beaches for weddings and photography on Kauai.

Best for: south shore weddings, sunny ceremonies, dramatic cliff photos and couples seeking iconic Kauai beach scenery.
