Thanks for the vote of confidence. I plan to take as much landscape shots on my family trip to Kauai in late May than any other. Going to borrow some glass from a friend so very much looking forward to that.
I actually do HDR occasionally, but only to add DR to get closer to what the eye perceives.

Borrow a wide angle that give you at least a 24mm perspective on your camera (I don't know which body you have). Usually the ocean waves will prevent you from doing a stitched panorama, unless you're up high:
