Nice beach. Lots of sand and grass as well. Turtles visit every evening to nest. Lifeguards stand At one end as well as park rangers to tell about the turtles and keep them safe. Full review by Mitzi J
We’re going on a Hawaiian cruise and want to see sea turtles at Poipu Beach. Can you suggest transportation from the cruise port there? Thanks! JoEllen
Is there overnight parking allowed? We have been there many times and have not seen signs with hours. We would have a car visiting the next property only and not sleeping in our car.

Your question re: parking being answered above, but did want to add : You will not find a better Beach anywhere IMHO! My husband and I went to Poipu every day during our two week stay a few years ago. We went very early, and often were the only two on the beach. (Before 10am) The water was always warm and clear and the beach sparkling clean! Not sure if the Captain Zodiac Rafting excursion (with stops for snorkeling in and around waterfalls, etc.) is still being offered, but if it is, be sure and take advantage of this "once in a lifetime" experience. We will always think of Kauai as the "True Hawaii" that most people expect, and don't always see if they keep their vacation too close to some of the other "busy" and very crowded Islands. (*FYI: I was born and raised on Oahu!)
When only visiting for the 8 hours of the cruise ship being in port. What to do?

If not expensive rent an island taxi and have them take you to poipu beach It is a public beach and free. The sand and water are great and it’s such a nice beach to visit. We had rented a car for our stay so I am not sure of the cost if too expensive there must be a public beach in Lihue somewhere. When in Hawaii go swimming!! Good Luck
