Po'ipu Beach

 

Po'ipu Road
Po'ipu, South Kauai

Po'ipu is the major beach on the South Shore. Swimming here is almost always safe especially on the left side of the beach. A small strip of sand divides this section of the beach from the rest.

 
 
This sandbar is actually an unusual phenomena that occurs when ocean currents rush toward the beach from opposite directions and deposit their sand forming a tombolo. This one is called Nukumoi Point.
 
 

Useful Information:

  • Great, safe swimming on the left of the beach
  • Good snorkeling around the right side of the point
  • Sandy, white beach with some rocks
  • Grass and shade areas
  • Restrooms
  • Showers
  • Picnic facilities
  • Lifeguards
 
  DIRECTIONS:
Take Highway 50 from Hanapepe toward Lawa'i. Just past Mile Marker #11 turn right on Koloa Road (Highway 530). Continue to Po'ipu Road and turn right again. The road forks near the ocean, take the left fork. Just past the Po'ipu Shopping Center on the left, take Hoowili Road to the right and follow it to the beach parking lot.
