OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Many
locals know this beach as Kiahuna Beach, but
there are just as many that know it as
Sheraton Beach and still others that call it
Po’ipu Beach. What you call it is up to you
and no matter what you do most people will
know which beach you are talking about!
This beach is located in front of the
Sheraton Hotel and Kiahuna Resort, which is
where two of the names come from. You will
love this beach because it is the perfect
backdrop for photos not to mention swimming
here is pretty safe. There is a reef that
provides significant protection to this
beach, which makes swimming a safe adventure
most of the time. If you are a surfer you
might like to head out past the reef and
catch some of the bigger waves, just make
sure you are a strong swimmer and a good
surfer before doing so. Snorkeling and
boogie boarding are both activities that are
great at this beach so there is really
something for everyone. |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
