Brenneck
Beach |
Brennecke Beach:
This used to
be a great beach, but was severely damaged in Hurricane Iniki.
Community volunteers cleaned out a seawall and brought in sand,
and it's now a good beach for bodyboarding.
Shipwreck Beach: Named for an
old shipwreck now long gone, this beach is also called Keoniloa
Beach, and it's next to the Hyatt Resort. Can be a good
beach for surfing and bodyboarding, though it often has high surf and isn't good for swimming. The Hyatt posts colored
flags that indicate ocean conditions.

/ Sheraton Beach |
Kiahuna Beach / Sheraton Beach:
This pretty beach is at the Sheraton Hotel and Kiahuna Resort.
Swimming, snorkeling and bodyboarding is usually safe and
enjoyable due to the offshore reef. You can get to the
beach from the end of Hoonani Road.
Po'ipu Beach Park: This is a
terrific area for swimming and snorkeling. The area to the
left is protected by a break water and is great for children. To
the right of the tombolo (strip of land) the snorkeling is usually
very good when the surf isn't too high. In the
heart of Po'ipu. Take Hwy 50 west, then go south on
520. Take Po'ipu Road east past the hotels. Turn right
on Ho'owili Road and go to the end.
