South Shore

The sunny South Shore of Kauai is home to historic Old Koloa Town and the more resort type town of Poipu. The south shore is usually sunny, when other shores may not be.

Kauai’s south shore is a wonderland of diversity, with excellent beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and a wealth of historical and scenic sites. This also is where you’ll find the National Tropical Botanical Garden, the only garden of its kind to be chartered by Congress. Also, be sure to visit Spouting Horn, whose natural lava tube formations creates one of Kauai’s more spectacular locations.

The collection of beaches along Kauai’s south shore are some of the more beautiful on the island. Sunnier than other parts of the island, the beaches are a fine collection that runs from Brenneke to Polihale.

Each offering something more perfect than the last and all within easy access of area resorts. South Shore is attracts surfers, divers, swimmers and others who have an opportunity to try one or all in search for a personal favorite.
