Kukuiula Bay is small but packed with things to see on the Poipu Beach coastline. From its active harbor to Kauai activities for sportsmen, kids of all ages will like the small Kauai beach which is sheltered and calm. Outside the breakwater there is a good surf spot for experts. The oceanfront pavilions are a perfect setting for a Kauai family gathering, BBQ or picnic. Located across from our Kauai vacation rentals at Kukui`ula®, this is a fun stop on your way to Spouting Horn or the Kauai gardens at Allerton and McBryde.
Park your beach chair and watch the Kauai sunset from here or the Kauai sunrise. You may also get a glimpse of outrigger canoe teams practicing. This is the home turf for the Kukui`ula Outrigger Canoe Club and one of the fastest outrigger canoes on Kauai can be seen resting near the beach. Look for the Parrish Kauai 6-man Bradley Lightning that proudly bears our name and is called Ka Makani `O Maha`ulepu.
A small number of boats are moored here permanently and a few launch daily. Long-pole shore and throw-net fishermen frequent this spot as well. It always seems like something interesting is going on. This is a great place to hang out and watch locals and tourists alike.
Walk across the road and you will see the ultra-luxury residential community of Kukui`ula and its private Kauai golf course designed by golf legend Tom Weiskopf. Kukui`ula Bay is the launching point for many of its ocean activities for guests of our nearby oceanfront properties.
You will also find other top Poipu rentals nearby like Kauai Kai, Kukuiula Bay House, Hale Kilokilo, Sandy Beach House and Paradisio Hoo Kumu

Checking out a place to go for our Honeymoon. Our ages are 63 & 66 second marriages (both widowed).
Found this site online and wish more info on availability for March or April.
Also, any other info on food, rental car, walking/biking trails, shopping, etc.
