Poipu Beach Park, Beach park in Kauaʻi County, United States
Poʻipū Beach Park is a beach park on the southern coast of Kauaʻi, Hawaii. It features white sand, clear water, and a reef break offshore, with lifeguards on duty.
Poʻipū Beach Park was named the best beach in America in 2001 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman. Since then, it has remained a popular destination for both locals and tourists.
The name Poʻipū refers to the area's history of whirlpools, and today the beach is a gathering place for families and visitors. You might see people learning to surf or children playing in the shallow water.
The park is easy to reach on foot from nearby areas, and lifeguards are present. It can get crowded on weekends, so plan your visit accordingly.
The park is a short walk from the Moir Garden at Kiahuna Plantation, a botanical garden with exotic plants. The reef break offshore is best suited for experienced swimmers and surfers.
