Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Family Photography

Where is the best place to take family photos when visiting Mauna Kea Beach Hotel?

When taking a family vacation at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, it’s convenient to walk steps from your room out onto Kaunaoa Beach (also known as Mauna Kea Beach). This beautiful long stretch of sand has coconut trees and gorgeous sunsets for your family photo session.

What time of the day is best for family photos on the Big Island?

This always depends on how early of risers you and your kids are! For families with little ones, often they’re up very early with the time change and more fresh in the morning before a day at the pool or in the sunshine. Sometimes kids can be jetlag and miss a nap, which can make sunset challenging. However, if you’d like that glowy golden light, sunset will be your best bet! If you’d like empty beaches and a more light and airy feel, sunrise will be your go-to.
