Brennecke Beach, Kauai

Located next to Poipu Beach Park on Kauai's south shore, this small cove is a popular bodyboarding location. The waves are consistent here and break both further out and close to shore, so beginning and advanced bodyboarders can enjoy a ride. They also don't have to compete for waves with surfers because surfboards are not allowed at this relatively small beach.
