    Baby Beach was a perfect spot for novice snorkelers and there were very few people when we arrived.

    My wife and I wanted to go snorkeling in the Poipu area. We had rented from Boss Frog's before on Maui and had a great experience, so we decided to go to the Poipu location. We were greeted by Kristen, who was incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. She asked where we were planning to snorkel and gave us great advice on a nearby spot that turned out to be absolutely perfect. She helped us get set up with masks, snorkels, and fins and made the whole process quick and easy. Kristen was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and a great representative for the company. Because of her help, we had a fantastic afternoon snorkeling in beautiful clear water. Thank you, Kristen and Boss Frog's, for making it such a smooth and enjoyable experience. We'll definitely rent from you again.

    We had a wonderful experience renting snorkel gear from Boss Frog's. We actually rented the snorkel gear from their other location in Koloa but wanted to snorkel at Lawai Beach. I saw they had a store here. Their location is smaller but right next to the beach. I asked Kristen for advice on the best way to enter the beach since it is pretty rocky. She took the time to give us tips and tricks and was so helpful and kind. It saved us from getting scratched up from the rocks and we had such an amazing time. Also, their gear was great! I 100% recommend renting from Boss Frog's.

    Do you currently offer bike rentals at either the Poipu or Kōloa locations?

    Do you rent beach chairs and umbrellas? If yes, how much for two chairs and 1 umbrella for 8 days?

    Aloha Ray, Yes we do. Please call 808-742-2025 for price and availability! Mahalo, Pam

Plenty of parking (gets busy during sunset so come a bit early). There are clean restrooms and lifeguards on both ends of the beach. Monk seals and turtles come very morning to sunbathe and you can see tons of turtles in the evening as well. It's got shaded picnic tables and grassy areas as well. Also has a nice protected area if you have little kids. Be mindful that the waves can be crazy during the afternoon but that made for a fantastic day at the beach for me. I came here 5-6 times, some times alone in the morning when my family was still sleeping and sometimes with everyone for a beach day. Be prepared to wait for a long time if you plan to get puka dog for lunch which is across from the beach. There are also lunch options in the shopping area 5 min drive (or 15 min walk) near by. Overall, I love love this beach! I will be back in Kauai again next year just to come here.

It is easily accessible by car via a paved road (Ainako Street) betwen the Grand Hyatt and the golf course. My wife and I spent a couple of hours here, mainly because ironwood trees grow in the sand towards the back of the beach, and provided shade for where we sat down (it wasn't too crowded even in the early afternoon, and found parking in the small dirt parking lot adjoining). This is the beach that the folks staying at the Grand Hyatt would use, so saw loungers and umbrellas setup specifically for them. There was also good 5g reception so was able to surf the web while watching people surf the waves. The surf here is strong, and the shore break is very close to shore. This meant that folks were surfing and body boarding very close to shore, and I was amazed how they were able to avoid each other (and swimmers)...it definitely takes skills to do that...this is not a surf learning beach. Even saw one guy enter a barrel, being engulfed...have not seen one so close to shore before. I did enter the water and enjoyed it until a big wave caught me good and threw me ashore like a rag doll. Luckily I didn't pull anything, so decided not to push my luck anymore for the rest of the trip.

    If you already have some snorkeling experience and weren't satisfied with the crowds at Poipu, this…read moreis the place to go! There are no lifeguards, so please use a life vest and bring a full set of snorkeling equipment. You won't be disappointed! Based on our experience this summer (2026), the best entry point is actually somewhere between the tiny beach areas where it looks like there's an easy entry. However, the water is very shallow for quite a while and there are lots of rocks, so I recommend going at least toward the middle, where there's a little more sand mixed with the big black rocks. Once you get into the water, you can bypass the rocks pretty quickly, and the water gets deep surprisingly fast. Underwater, you'll see some huge rocks covered with yellow coral/sponges, which seem to be a favorite hangout for sea turtles. I swam with three sea turtles within just one hour this morning! Definitely one of my favorite snorkeling spots on Kauai!

Even surfers set out here to catch some waves. There are a lot of rocks, more rocks than sand, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I highly recommend water socks to protect your feet. There's a great entrance point that's pretty smooth and easy on your feet, but the waves can be choppy. The snorkeling reminded me a lot of Two Step Beach on the Big Island because you didn't have to swim out very far to see fish. There were a ton of fish out there! There were also a couple of turtles further out, but there were quite a few people hanging out around them. Remember not to get too close to them! :) We visited this beach several times because it was right outside our condo complex. At one point we were just sunbathing and playing in the water and ended up having the whole beach to ourselves late in the afternoon! It was awesome!
