Poipu Beach Park

Also known as Brenneke’s beach is a gorgeous lifeguarded south shore beach that is popular with visitors to Kauai. The beach is basically protected by the`rock jetties so it’s great for swimming and snorkeling. There is surf outside the jetties, but we recommend you leave that to more advanced surfers who are familiar to the area, unless of course you are out there with a certified instructor.

If you choose to play in Poipu HLWSF wants you to be aware of the hazards. Strong currents are often found inside the barriers especially if the outside surf is big. It’s better not to walk on the jetties as the rocks are slippery and the waves breaking are probably hitting those rocks with more power than you realize. The reef is sharp so don’t walk on it. These are just some safety tips for current and recent safety information always ask your lifeguards on duty about the conditions. That’s the surest way to have a fun and safe time. J.R.
