An evening at the Kaanapali Beach Black Rock

Someone told me there are cliff-jumpers as the sun goes down over the Black Rock on Kaanapali Beach near Lahaina. That was not to be missed.

So there we were, on the beach of Maui Sheraton as it was getting dark to watch the cliff jumpers. On the way, we passed by a Luau being performed near the beach. It was nice, kinda.

The interesting part of the time spent at the beach was seeing some wedding photography in action. The bride was definitely having a hard time with a third of her flowing wedding gown all wet with sea water. It was all serious stuff for the couple in question, I suppose. But they ended up providing a lot of comic relief for the onlookers.

The sun was setting in the meanwhile. We watched as a Hawaiian man ran with a lighted torch along the sea shore, lit up the tiki lamps, reached the top of the Black Rock and jumped into the ocean to eventually swim back to the shore.

End of a great day.
