Description

Merriman's restaurant at Kapalua Bay offers indoor and outdoor dinning. However, during the cover-19 shutdown the restaurant was closed and there were no beach goers. The beaches and parks were all empty. This was a real, once in a life time, treat for me. I had my favorite beaches all to myself. I wasn't allowed to sunbath, but there was no law against walking along them. I took advantage of their emptiness and took a lot of reference photos.

During my walks I got such a peaceful, calm feeling. These lovely beaches were getting a much needed rest. The coral reefs and ocean habitat was also enjoying a moment of peace.

I don't know if our island Maui will ever go back to the 30,000 a day visitors. To be honest with you, I hope it never does. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind sharing my island paradise. I just don't care for the over crowding, heavy traffic and damage to our ocean and beaches.
