Kiahuna Beach, Kauai

This beach is one of the most popular beaches in the Poipu vacation area, fronting the Kiahuna Plantation Resort and the Sheraton Kauai Resort. There is an offshore reef, which acts as a buffer to waves, so the swimming and snorkeling conditions are usually good. Surfers usually gather outside of the reef area to catch the waves there.
