Kauai is the greenest island of the four main Hawaiian Islands. It has a rich and fertile landscape everywhere we look, with incredible cliffs in the northwest part. Like all the islands in this part of the planet, we are offered some impressive beaches from north to south of the coastline.

One of these paradisiacal beaches is Poipu Beach, which is considered by many to be one of the best beaches in the world. Although it is a single beach, it is really a series of three different stretches of white sand along crystal clear waters on the south coast.
Poipu Beach is only 30 minutes from the Lihue airport, and stretches for about 5 kilometers. One of the remarkable things about this beach is that it is located near the highway that surrounds the island, making it a good starting point to explore the island and get to know it in depth. Along the Poipu beach, we can find tables to sit down and have a picnic.

The beach has showers and toilets as well as bars, restaurants and supermarkets right on the beach. If we go by car, there is ample free parking, which is a short walk from the beach. In the area, there are several hotels where we can choose where to stay.
There are three distinct parts to Poipu Beach. In the eastern area the water is shallower, where we can splash around and play with the little ones. Further to the west, the waters are more ideal for people who do not know how to swim very well since, although the waters are deeper, they are very calm and the waves are slow and calm.
Here we can see many people having fun with floats and inflatable hammocks in the water. To the west of the beach, we find the best part for diving and snorkeling. There are colorful reefs and a great variety of fish that will leave us impressed.
It offers excellent activities typical of a beach, such as swimming, diving or surfing. The beach is protected along its route by palm trees that can give us shelter on the hottest days. It is a perfect destination for people who seek tranquility above all, either alone or with family or friends.

In most of the beach, the waters are calm and we will not have problems with undertows or treacherous tides, so we can enjoy swimming without problems. In the Poipu Beach Park, we will find areas where the water is shallow, which makes it ideal if we go with small children. In the park area, we have the option to make excursions in the area and spend the day.
Poipu Beach alone is a reason to captivate us, although the Kauai area has many other options for travelers looking for activities other than spending the day at the beach.
There are several golf courses where we can practice our skills with the clubs, or if we want, we can tour the island on horseback. In any case, summer is usually very hot, so the best dates to go are from November to April. If what you like is to see it rain, the best dates are from May to October.
