This beach looks lovely but we are planning a vow renewal (13 people total) for March 2022. I keep reading that it is busy. Anyone know what it's usually like around 4pm? Wondering if we will be able to carve out space for our family with a pretty view for photos. Thanks!

Are you "wedded" (my silly pun, sorry) to this site? If I had my choices, I would hurry on down to Kaanapali Beach (between the Hyatt and the Sheraton) and get set up on those beautiful stretches of sand and grass for my vows. We were there (both beaches) recently and thought the Kapalua Beach rather pathetic (sooo very much damage) and you may need to get a permit or something to put up a gathering for 13+ people. Who knows? You may need to ask. The Kaanapali beach area is way more desirable over this beach (IMHO). Kaanapali sunsets? Off the charts! Stuff to do? No comparison. We've been regular visitors for 25+ years here to this part of Maui and would strongly steer you towards Kaanapali. Please, do PM me with more requests for info. I hate to see anyone waste money and time on a just "so-so" location for such an important gathering.

Q:
