Review:
Kiahuna Beach is one of the South Shore's most beloved public beaches, located within the beautiful Po'ipu Beach Park near the Kiahuna Plantation resort. The beach, which is located adjacent to Lawai Beach, is known as a prime spot for beginner surfers, boogie boarders, and snorkelers due to calm water conditions within its barrier reef, making it a great spot for families to try their hand at a variety of water sports together. Outside the barrier reef, rougher wave conditions attract more experienced surfers.
Can you find shade on the beach? Pristine powder-white sands offer excellent conditions for sunbathing and relaxation, though visitors should note that the beach receives little natural shade and should plan accordingly.
Where should I watch a sunset in Kauai? The sands at Kiahuna Beach are an excellent front-row spot for viewing the region's spectacular nightly sunsets.
