The south shore of Kauai is home to a number of excellent beaches that are good for a vast array of watersports, but another reason to come to the island is for the outstanding sunsets. With that said, Poipu Beach is right in the center of all the action on Kauai. In fact, the beach has been rated the best in America for three consecutive years (2002-2004). There is an onsite playground, grassy areas, picnic tables, and bathroom facilities for guests to use. Poipu Beach additionally has plenty of parking spaces for guests.
Whales and more…
Whales have been known to lurk offshore and sightings are not uncommon here. Guests should bring binoculars if they choose to come to this beach, in order to better spot these indigenous marine mammals. Tortoises and monk seals are typical onshore sights. The snorkeling at this beach is also quite good and offers those who do so will spot a good variety of marine life. Kayaking is another popular activity at this location.
