Review:
Poipu Beach Park is the most popular beach on the South Shore of Hawaii's Kauai Island. The beach is part of Poipu Beach Park and has been declared one of the country's most beautiful beaches, consisting of a chain of lovely crescents of golden sand, perfect for snorkeling, swimming, or laying in the sun. There is a natural wading pool for the little ones, and for the older ones there is surfing and boogie boarding. There is a lifeguard on duty year round. The beach is divided into two parts by a "tombola," a sandy spit famous as a good place to watch Hawaiian monk seals.
It is also the place to learn to bodyboard and for kids to play as the waves are soft and the water shallow. The sandbar is protected from the waves by lava rock. The beach also has a kids' playground.
