Sentinel Beach is situated in the middle of Yosemite Valley, and conveniently located across the street from the historic Yosemite Chapel. Once you cross the beautiful Merced River the area opens up to Cook's Meadow. Stunning views of Yosemite Falls and Half Dome are visible from the meadow. This area has endless options for ceremony locations. Sentinel Beach allows up to 100 people. Most of the area is paved. Because parking is quite limited the public shuttle system is recommended for transportation.
