Poipu Beach

Kauai's Best Beach

Named one of the “Best Beaches in America” by Travel Channel, Poipu Beach is a dreamy stretch of golden sand celebrated for its calm waters, unique reef formations, and abundance of native flora and fauna.

Here, you can have a beach day, any way—swimming, surfing, snorkeling, snoozing or maybe even spotting the endangered monk seals and sea turtles who also covet this part of the coast.
