Poipu Beach Park is home to Kauai’s most popular beach. Protected from the surf, it provides a safe environment for infants and small children to swim in while adults can enjoy the waves on their section of Poipu Beach Park. The second section is the small Waiohai beach is a popular destination for people looking to enjoy some quality time at the shore. There are not many other attractions in this area so it’s best suited as an afternoon getaway or take-your-time weekend trip, but make sure you’re ready to spend your day lounging on soft sand and maybe catching sight of some dolphins!

The surf break is not for beginners but waves sometimes hit in the central area. Professional lessons are offered at neighboring Kiahuna beach, which may be a good place to start your surfing adventure!

There are many places to stay near the beach in Poipu.
