World-famous Poʻipū Beach Park on Kauaʻi’s south side is family-friendly with two lifeguard towers, and an easily swimmable sand bottom beach (with reef nearby for snorkeling.) With minimal effort, you can pop in the water and see kauai boat tours from Hanalei a wide range of colorful tropical fish just steps from the shore.

Encroaching on their natural habitat can be dangerous for them and for you.
