Some breath taking options would be:

Windward Oahu: Makapu’u, Waimanalo, Lanikai and Kailua Beach.

The eastern coast of Oahu boasts of the best beaches in the world. The sand and oceans expert, Steven Leatherman rates Kailua and Lanikai as some of the most beautiful beaches of the world. Kailua Beach is an unending saga of white sand. Adjacent to it is the Lanikai beach which has dual offshore islands, the Mokulua Islands also known as the Mokes. Lanikai beach boasts of one of the best views of sunrise on the island, thus making it a hot favorite for wedding ceremonies during sun rise.

Waimanalo is another spectacular white sand beach. The grand Ko’olau Mountains surround it as if to guard it. Makapu’u beach overlooks the Rabbit Island and even has lava rocks to boot. It’s a small beach and could get really crowded when the surf is up and on weekends.

North Shore: Waimea bay, Sunset Beach, Ke Iki and Pounders.

There are some exotic beaches on the northern shore of Oahu, which could be the perfect location for your wedding. Keep in mind that the northern shores can become very crowded during high surf and winters. The water can be quite dangerous at swell. Ke-Iki beach is difficult to locate, but once there you will know that the trouble was worth it. It’s a huge beach interspersed with large lave rocks. It also boasts of tide pool and a magnificent sunset view. Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach have popular surfing spots and are quite crowded during weekends. Pounders, famous for powerful shore breaks and thus named, is a fabulous location for your wedding and is located at Laie.

Waianae Coast: Makua Beach, Pokai and Makaha Beach Parks.

Waianae Beach is the complete antithesis of Waikiki. It is just the place you want to be in if you are looking for an authentic local experience. Be careful with your valuables here as crime rate is high. The beaches here are quite isolated with incredible view.
