Sunset Charcuterie on a Host-Chosen South Maui Beach
A charcuterie picnic set on the sand before sunset; the host shoots photos and video and sends them to your phone that night.
Picnics on Maui sets a low table, cushions and a blanket on a South Maui beach, lays out a charcuterie board, and photographs you as the sun goes down. The listing never names the beach. The exact spot comes by text before your date, somewhere off Makena Road in the Kihei area, and guests describe the host choosing it. One guest's parents were moved to another beach when storm debris covered the planned one. It is a public beach; one guest describes a little niche set back from most of the public.
The board, bottled water, cushions, utensils and a relationship card deck come with the booking. Any other drink is yours to bring.

Plan dinner before or after; the board is a starter for grazing while the light goes. The listing files the charcuterie under snacks: meats and cheeses, olives, pickled vegetables, grapes, a sweet jam and crackers. One guest booking for two felt the food was sized for one person; on taste, others call the spread delicious. Bottled water is the only drink included. The listing says to bring your own specialty drink if you want one, but Hawaii's state rules for public beach land bar using or possessing alcohol there without written permission from the state land board, so make it a non-alcoholic one. The listing photos show letter boards and a message in a bottle for occasions, and special requests have to reach the operator at least 48 hours ahead.
Photos on Your Phone Before You Leave
The person who sets up the picnic also takes the pictures, at no extra cost, shooting stills and short video while you eat, walk the waterline or propose. The listing promises the photos and raw video clips on your phone directly after the experience. Guests describe having them before they left the beach. The camera is an iPhone, and one guest who expected professional gear for a windy evening marked the experience down for it. Guests have used the evening to propose; one forgot to warn the host and still got the moment on video.
Five Minutes Early Is Early Enough
Arrive no more than five minutes before the start; until then the host is still setting up. One guest who came an hour early felt left waiting, and the owner's public reply repeats the five-minute rule and describes the picnic as a 1.5 to 2 hour evening that includes the sunset. The listing sells 90 minutes from a 5:30 PM start. By the U.S. Naval Observatory's figures for this stretch of coast, sunset runs from about 5:44 PM in late November to about 7:11 PM in early July, so from late May to early August the sun goes down after the listed 90 minutes. The booking page notes street parking near the beach. The operator's own booking notes describe trails leading in toward the sand, with the setup to the left or middle once you walk onto the beach. Transportation is not included.
Priced Per Person, Up to Four Per Booking
The price is per person: a couple pays it twice. Each booking is private and takes one to four people. The booking page prices tickets for ages 18 to 80 only, with no child rate, though the listing describes the beach as a setting for couples or families. As of October 18, 2026, the booking calendar offered this picnic on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays at 5:30 PM. Seating is on cushions at a low table on the sand, and the listing marks it not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Bad weather can cancel an evening, and one guest moved to a better day when timing and weather got in the way. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund.
📍 Off Makena Road near Kihei, from 5:30 PM. Give it the full 90 minutes: a blanket on the sand, a board within reach, and the light changing over the water while someone else works the camera.
