It's somewhat of a seasonal item. They were removing all the Summer stuff to make room for the Christmas stuff. They were "Marked Down" to $1.49. So... I purchased 15 of them! :) They usually cost about $5 or $6 bucks in the winter & about $3.50 in the summer. It's totally worth it. No fuss or mess. You just poor some water on it when you're done and toss it in the trash after it's safe to do so. I also like to buy a small bag off "instant lighting" charcoal - The kind where you just set the bag on fire. I just toss the entire bag into the public BBQ Grill they have set up by the picnic tables. @Evelyn, Almost – I got it at Foodland. It’s somewhat of a seasonal item.

Restaurants are unusually packed on Valentine's day. It's better to have the peaceful setting of a beach. @ jim - you'll have to add that to your list for next time. @ Evelyn - I would be extremely flattered if kama'aina found fun ideas for exploring and enjoying their on beautiful islands! If I'm not mistaken Dave said he picked up on of those disposable grills from the 99 cent store for $1.49. @ nico – that’s a very romantic dinner idea.

LOL! I love the grill idea and I love the ideas you share. :) Where did you get that contained thing? At the grocery store? I've got to have a couple in my car for times when the opportunity arises! :) You know, you’re going to have kama’aina following your advice! LOL!

We spent many a sunset just watching from the beach but didn't think to grill, brilliant! Wow that’s such a great idea, I can’t believe we didn’t think to do that!

I'm glad you got to enjoy that peaceful time, too. @ Andy - I would have preferred hot dogs on the beach rather than that chili we had for dinner tonight. :) @ Dave - thanks again for the hot dog grill kit. @ Acai - well you'll just have to plan a family sunset picnic this weekend. :) @ kjb - there's always next time :) @ Ian - welcome to Go Visit Hawaii and thanks for your first time comment. @ Janice - where was your favorite sunset spot on Maui? @ Beth – I still can’t believe how deserted the beaches are at sunset.

This was a favorite Sunday evening activity for us when we lived on Maui:-) Many restaurants just don’t live up to their “hype” but it’s hard to go wrong with a hot dog and a sunset!

Just came across this via twitter. I agree with what you said here. There are a couple of great picnic spots on Diamond Head road, just before DH beach, that are secluded and absolutely beautiful.

If it's fun at home, it has to be even more fun while in the islands, right? I’ve done this at other beaches, but for some reason didn’t think to do this in Hawaii.

I have gone to Waikiki Beach at night to watch sunsets though. I like the free Waikiki parking near Kapiolani Park. :) Aloha, Chris Wow Sheila,

It's the free & cheap things that I enjoy the most. When I look at old photo albums... Most of the happiest memories are of doing free or cheap stuff outside like going to the beach and swimming, building sand-castles, flying kites, having a picnic or BBQ or whatever. You will certainly enjoy fine dining but I believe that most people will find just as much, if not more enjoyment from something like a sunset weenie roast or taking a bucket of drive-through chicken to the beach and watching the free fireworks on Friday. Wow! – I’m so glad you folks enjoyed the Hot Dogs! :)

It seemed that we would finally stop touring around and get to the beach at 4pm each day to swim and boogie board, and hardly anyone would be there. We'd sit and dry off as the sun set. What a great time, and I felt reasonably safe when we'd see lots of grandchildren and grandparents hangin out. Grandparents who probably knew all about the great sunsets on the beach.
