Makena Cove is an iconic, hidden crescent of golden sand framed by dramatic black lava rock walls on Maui's South Shore. The narrow entrance creates a natural frame perfect for ceremony photos. The sheltered setting blocks wind and noise from the road, creating a sense of seclusion despite its accessibility. Famous as one of the most photographed elopement spots in all of Hawaii. Max 10 guests including vendors (practically 5 for optimal experience). County of Maui Parks permit required ($150–$300, 6–12 months recommended lead time). Restrictions: no arches, tents, structures, amplified music, chairs, alcohol, glass, flower petals, confetti, rice, glitter, smoke, candles, sparklers, or pets. Cannot ask beachgoers to move. Very short walk from parking through lava rock gap. Limited parking; arrive 45 minutes early. No wheelchair access, spotty cell service, no on-site restrooms. Best for sunrise on weekdays (April–May, September–October).

Our wedding at Makena Cove was absolutely breathtaking, thanks to the amazing team at Wedy. They nailed every detail, from helping us choose the perfect vendors to flawlessly managing the day-of. Carrie was so professional, and we're so grateful for her help in pulling off our Hawaii elopement! Thanks guys!!
Our wedding was seriously incredible, all thanks to Wedy. 🌟 They were total rockstars, hooking us up with the best vendors and making sure everything went smoothly on the big day. We worked with Rumi - who was super sweet and took charge with all of our bookings. Couldn't have had our dream wedding without their expert help! 💕
Over the moon with our Hawaii wedding :) we held a small ceremony at Makena Cove, which was GORGEOUS and made for AMAZING photos. We've heard it's a 'secret beach' and we were so happy we went with this choice. Our photographer was incredibly, and Wedy made sure to provide us with tons of options for our vendors, and helped us weigh out the pros/cons when making a decision. Their top-notch communication, organization, and extensive industry connections are just a few of the reasons why I wholeheartedly recommend them for your Maui wedding. They go above and beyond, giving their all in planning the most breathtaking weddings.
