Kauai's sunniest beach sits on the south shore, where a natural breakwater creates a calm, shallow pool perfect for families and beginner snorkelers. Hawaiian monk seals regularly rest on the sand, and the adjacent Brennecke Beach is one of the best bodyboarding spots on the island.
Tip: The south shore gets sun even when the north shore is rainy. If the weather is overcast in Princeville, drive south — Poipu is likely clear.
