Question
Where do I park for the ceremony?Where do I park for the ceremony?
Answer
THERE IS NO PARKING LOT FOR THIS BEACH. ARRIVE EARLY. Free public parking is available on the side of Makena Road. You can't really see the beach from the road, but just look for the designated beach access path that leads back through the kiawe trees. There's a port a potty and large boulders where the path meets with the road. To find "White Rock" from the road through Wailea, turn on Kaukahi Street past the Fairmont Kea Lani, and when the road bends to the left at the bottom continue for one more minute. White Rock Beach is located off Makena Road, only about a half mile from Polo Beach. The beach is almost invisible from the road – hidden by kiawe trees and multi-million dollar houses – so it’s easy to miss. There is no parking lot here—only street and shoulder parking. Parking can be limited on busy days. Be sure to park completely off the road in legal parking only, not blocking any driveways or mailboxes. As we mentioned above, beachfront mansions surround Palauea, and some have private security. The last thing you want to do is park in the wrong spot and get your car towed! To find the beach, look for a porta-potty, a trash can, and park rules signs. From here, there is a short, sandy trail through a kiawe grove that leads to the beach.
