Waipouli Beach is a charming beach located directly in front of the Waipouli Beach Resort, near Kapa'a's Coconut Marketplace on Kauai's eastern shoreline. The beach is one of the island's best spots for catching gorgeous sunrises, with biking opportunities also offered along the nearby Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal trail. Swimming is possible when ocean currents are calm, though beachgoers should note that the beach's ocean bottom is quite rocky and can be dangerous.
Where can I see sea turtles on Kauai? Sea turtles and monk seals can be spotted from the coastline, though visitors should take care not to interact directly with protected animal species.
Good to know: A boat ramp and pedestrian bridge connect the beach to nearby Kapa'a Beach Park.
Where to eat: A large number of cafes and stores are located within walking distance of the beachfront.
