Located on the southern shores of Kauai, the community of Poipu is affectionately referred to as “The Sunny South Side.” Poipu is approximately 30 minutes away from Lihue Airport and about 25 minutes from Lihue, Kauai’s center of government and commerce. Spouting Horn Park and the historic Koloa Heritage Trail are nearby and a few miles west of Poipu is the Kauai Coffee farm. Poipu boasts some of the best and safest beaches in all of Kauai. Residents and vacationers are treated to the sight of clear turquoise waters, fine white sand, and unusual reef formations that make for an interesting snorkeling trip.
