Waimanalo Beach is a 4 mile white sandy beach with asure blue waters, scenic vistas in both directions, and about 40 minutes from Waikiki. It has been rated the #1 beach in the USA.

The geometry and orientation of the beach, mountaing, and islands make for compositions unavailable anywhere else in the State.

We like it in the morning starting at 10 am and up to as late as 2 pm for the best lighting. It's generally empty of people Monday to Friday. Weekends are a no-go.

Unfortunately, the City banned use of the public access a few years ago. Beach permits are still available. Consequently, we are required to use a private access to the beach for which a fee is charged by the owner. Additionally, because of the extra travel and time required, a vendor travel fee is also an additional cost.

Can you see yourself there?
