Travel Channel and Stephen Leatherman, a. k.a. "Dr. Beach" have both described Poipu Beach as one of the best in America. Dr's shortlist is built on a scoring system that incorporates factors such as the composition of the sands, length, width at low water, swim and snorkel condition, boat boating wave, parks and amenities and picnic areas, easy accessibility, attractiveness for a variety of age groups and more.
Some like Poipu because the climate here seems better than on the other side of the isle. If it rains elsewhere on the isle, Poipu is often clear. Others like Poipu for less science - it's exactly where everyone else is. A human being can only bear so much loneliness and empty shores - after all, you also want to see a few of them!
Poipu means crash in Spanish, although the beach is usually shielded by a cliff named Nukumoi Point a few hundred ft from the centre of the beach. From the beach to the top, a small skewer, known as a raffle, creates two beaches of perfect shape.
East-facing half moon beach ends in a flat, semi-closed swimmingpool which is great for kids and a crewed lifeguards keep an eye on them. Surfer are catching a wave right behind Nukumoi Point, but this is not a beginner Surfbreak. The Poipu Beach Park is located directly behind the bathing attendant turret and offers a large grass area for frisbee tossing, more sun bathing, picknick desks, barbeques, toilets and shower.
There are also play area facilities in the garden, which provide even more amusement for the kids. This beach and the beach are known together as Poipu Beach and Poipu Beach.
