If waves are your thing, this is the beach for you.
Popular with body surfers and boogie boarders, this beach has a nice mix of tourists and locals looking to spend a relaxing day in the water or on the warm inviting sand. Looking for a place with no watercraft or board riders??
This is a no-pressure haven located near enough to Poipu beach but further enough away for all who come here to participate in the more sedate activities this beach offers.
Many visitors and locals will tell you the waves at this beach are consistently good. Great for those wanting to test their ocean swimming skills, but not so large if younger children may be fearful.
Need a fix of sea life? It is not just us mere mortals that love Brenneck’s Beach The beauty of this small strip of beach is that it’s known for sightings of sea turtles coming out of the water at dusk, and returning at the early hours of the next morning. Dolphins play alongside people and are at times so close you feel you could reach out and touch them.
Quite a sanctuary for everyone.
The facilities here are great for couples or families.
Take a trip to Brennecke’s Beach on your next visit to South Kauai. Stay all day and watch the sunset from your perfect position.
Parking is available at the Poipu Beach parking lot.
