Poipu

Poipu occupies a low, sun-drenched stretch of Kauai’s southern Pacific coastline in Hawaii. The community is centred on a series of accessible beaches, including Poipu Beach, where a sheltered sandy shore meets lava-rock points and seasonal ocean swells. Just west, Spouting Horn is a blowhole formed in the shoreline lava; waves force spray through a natural opening in the rock. Inland, nearby Kōloa preserves the setting of Hawaii’s first successful commercial sugar plantation, established in 1835, a turning point in the islands’ modern economy. Poipu also sits close to the National Tropical Botanical Garden’s Allerton and McBryde gardens in Lāwaʻi Valley.
