About Poipu Properties

The Hawaiian royalty spent lots of time at Poipu. The furthest south point on the Garden island of Kauai, Poipu is comprised of private homes, condos and a few larger resorts like Sheraton and Hyatt. It is a family kind of place. But there is activity too as new resorts are built and many multi-million homes are under construction.

BEACHPARK:
Poipu Beach park has been regularly named the top beach in America and one of the top in the world. If you want all night entertainment and lot of tourist hubbub you may be disappointed at Poipu. It is, first of all, a community park that surrounds a series of small crescent shaped beaches. There are green fields, sheltered pavilions for free use, keiki (kid) play areas and a daytime life guard. It can be busy and fun place.

In recent years Poipu Beach has become a frequent stopping ground for one or more of the highly endangered Monk seals who haul ashore among bathers and sleep away the day. In the water you'll find humhumnukanukaapuaa fish (Hawaiian Queen Trigger fish) as well as hundreds of other varieties in waters from two to six feet in depth. Its easy snorkeling even for beginner. Experts can venture further out to find huge green sea turtles.

December through March giant humpback whales parade back and forth just off shore. Binoculars are a help but you'll be able to see the spouts with the naked eye.

POIPU WEATHER:
Temperatures at the beach hover around 80 degrees year round. The weather is so sublime it’s difficult to tell the time of year by the temperature. Constant easy trade windows blow most of the time keeping the air balmy and fragrant. Many accommodations are within a block or two from the park. For others there is easy free parking.

Visit Nukumoi surf shop to buy or rent surf boards and other essential gear. Or book your sunset cruise, whale watching boat trip or dinner reservations.

Poipu Beach is about fun and sun and an easy going atmosphere that most guests fall in love with.

About Kauai

It is called a Garden Isle for a reason. Oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai has soaring peaks, dark green mountains and valleys and more beaches than all the other islands combined. You can swim in a mountain pool, ride a helicopter around spires and peaks, eat dinner on a sunset sail, learn to Kayak and scuba with fluorescent reef fish - and that's all just the first day.

An ancient island, Kaua‘i was born of fire and sculpted by Pele legendary goddess of the volcano. It is filled with mana, an elemental energy manifseted by the cliffs, surf and waterfalls of this hard to imagine landscape. It is shrounded in mists. It is a natural Island, shrouded in mists, ringed by rainbows and gentled by ocean breezes. It is an abundant Island, lush with tropical fruits, rare orchids and life-giving taro.

If you don't want to spend every waking hour on the go, Kauai weather can lull you into a state of tropical paralysis reading a book or listening to your ipod on the beach. The sun is warm but not scorching. You can find busy beach front activities or isolated beaches where you may be the only person within sight.

Kauai is not Waikiki or Oahu. There aren't a lot of all night shows and clubs. But there is entertainment, luaus and fabulous dining. All with a little more laid back feeling. But you can get equally fabulous dining experiences. There are fancy visitor oriented restaurants, highly prized hotel dining rooms and many "local style" cafes and eateries that will make your mouth say, "Aloha" in delight.

Plus Kauai has shopping to at the Coconut Market Place in the town Kapa'a, at the Harbor Mall near Nawiliwili Harbor and Kalapaki bay. On the South side don't miss old Koloa town and the Poipu Beach shopping village. Waimea to the West has some funky island style shops. To the North, Princeville resort features name brand boutiques and is close to the village of Hanalei and its Ching Young shopping village.
