Poipu Beach is popular due to its exceptional climate, its wonderful beaches, and its extraordinary range of vacation choices. Poipu Kauai is abundant in choices to fit your activities and recreation needs. Snorkeling, diving and surfing are among the more popular water sports, besides, of course, relaxing and enjoying the sun on one of Poipu's many beaches.
There is also championship golf on two well-designed courses, horseback riding, kayaking, tennis, biking, fishing and sailing. Hike the spectacular 4 mile round trip coastal trail to Mahaulepu Beach or learn about our amazing history by driving, walking or biking the 10-mile Koloa Heritage Trail. On those less-adventurous days, shopping is found in the quaint and charming shopping villages of Poipu and Old Koloa Town, and at the well known Kukui Grove Shopping Center.
Poipu Beach in south Kauai is a nearly perfect resort area. It offers accommodations ranging from ultra-luxury hotels and spacious condominiums to cozy bed-and-breakfasts. There are gourmet restaurants, exclusive shops and championship golf.
Poipu Beach is a smile of sand where the sunsets are a sacrament, holding the world in a chalice of color while the sea and sky melt into golds, pinks and sometimes a flash of emerald. Dr. Beach, a noted authority on beaches, recently ranked Poipu Beach number one in the U.S.
In truth, Poipu Beach is actually many beaches. The sheltered coves of Poipu, with their gentle surf, are the perfect spots to learn to surf or snorkel. The swimming here is idyllic. Adjacent Nukumoi Point has a reef well-populated with angel fish, striped damsels, Moorish idols, black tangs and schools of canary-colored butterfly fish. Families who gather for picnics on weekends enjoy Poipu Beach Park.
