So, while you are making the accommodation bookings, don’t pay extra for the beach view because it is a common access. But yes, you can definitely way your options in beach choices while booking your stay.

Hawaii gets hot, and yes it’s very sunny. So if you think that the usual amount of sunscreen will do then please think again!

Especially, if you are the couple or from the couple’s family then you might want to plan the visiting and exploring part of the trip to after the wedding.
4) Do not just carry regular footwear. Carry flip flops too!
They come very handy. You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to walk with your regular shoes on the beach, let alone the fancy ones.

That is very thoughtful and very helpful. So try to make things as easy and comfortable as you can because it’ll be needed.
