Poipu Beach

To get to Po'ipu Beach take Lawa'i Road east back toward Po'ipu for about 2 miles. Lawa'i Road will merge with Po'ipu Road. You want to turn right onto Po'ipu Road continuing to head east. Right beyond the Po'ipu Shopping Village (which will be on your left) there will be a road named Hoowili Road on your right. This is the road that provides beach access.

Po'ipu Beach is one of the most popular beaches in south Kaua'i. Its three crescent-shaped strips of sand offer a variety of swimming possibilities. For the more experienced swimmer, the edges of the crescents offer snorkeling and boogie boarding opportunities. The younger or inexperienced swimmer can stay towards the middle where there is a lifeguard on duty.

Kaua'i is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and Po'ipu is no exception. It was ranked at the top of the Travel Channel's America's 10 Best Beaches. In addition to spectacular scenery, Po'ipu Beach also provides showers, rest rooms, and picnic tables.

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 Ho'owili Road to the right and follow it to the beach parking lot.
