Friends on Maui Day 8: Napili Beach Day

I couldn't believe our last full day was already here.  I call this the day of lasts--last day on the beach, last sunset,*sigh.*  

I had my last bagel with lilikoi cream cheese on the lanai.

We had a nice last day planned.  We decided to spend the day at Napili Bay beach, which would be another first for Ben and I, since we normally spend our beach days at Kapalua or Kaanapali.  Like Kapalua, Napili Bay is another bay with a nice crescent shaped beach.  It also has the Sea House restaurant right there for lunch or a drink.  

We set up on the beach but it started raining so we went to the Sea House for breakfast.  


It kept raining which meant a drink at the bar was in order.  It's 5:00 somewhere right?!

Then the sun came out and we spent a couple of hours on Napili Bay.



The water was too cold for me but everyone else enjoyed it!


After the beach, we drove over to the Montage Resort in Kapalua for a drink at the pool bar.  








By 2:00 p.m., we were ready for lunch so we headed over to Duke's Beach House in north Kaanapali.



I got the mahi mahi lunch plate and Ben got the ribs and huli huli chicken.


Lunch at Duke's is not complete without a lava flow!

Back at the condo, we all relaxed until it was time for sunset.  I wanted some different sunset pictures so I took my beach blanket down to the beach.





Nick and Kate did their own photo shoot on the beach which was taken by Ben from our condo.  I took a picture of Ben in action!

Nick and Kate did a really cool photo shoot!


Ben came and joined me for our last Maui sunset. 



So many people leave once the sun goes down but they miss the best part!



I couldn't believe we were going home tomorrow!
