Poipu

Poʻipū Beach is a white sand beach approximately 1,100 feet long and fifty feet wide. The eastern half of the beach is backed by Poʻipū Beach Park and the western half by several hotels. A small boulder breakwater forms a protected swimming area in front of the beach park. Nukumoi Point, in the center of the beach, is a tombolo, a sandbar that joins a shallow rock islet to the beach. The sandbar is emergent at low tide, and the ocean bottom slopes gently to overhead depths on either side of it.
