Poipu Beach Park

Just a 5-minute walk away!

Poipu Beach is actually two beaches in one. A tombola (known as Nukumoi Point) separates the two bays. A tombola is a narrow sand spit that extends from shore to an island. The tombola at Poipu Beach is the favorite spot for the napping, endangered Hawaiian monk seals. The area on the western side of the beach is a favorite for beginning bodyboarders. Small waves break gently on the shallow sandbar and create a fun area for children to play.

On the left of the sandbar is a lava rock protected and shallow area for swimming. This is usually the play area for families with small children. Poipu Beach Park has been voted the #1 beach in America. This is a favorite spot for birthday parties, picnics, lawn games, and family activities during the weekends. The outdoor playground was built by donations from the community. You can find parking, snorkel rental, and surfboard rentals nearby.
