Poipu is nice. There is a nice beach , Mahalapu'u, [sorry if I misspelled it guys] if you can follow the road just north/east up the coast. Whatever you do...don't spend your time at the resort. Too many nice places to see and do...and DO NOT try to go through Lihue in the morning "rush"...Bumper to bumper from Puhi into town. Leaving Lihue is easy in the AM. Traffic flow reverses in the PM. Anahola beach is nice and has a protected "baby" beach if you want to just loll in the water. Nice place to play in the surf. Are all the plumerias still growing there?Used to love going there in the AM...
If you get a 4WD, Poliholi [sp?] "Barking Sands" [as far NW as you can get] is nice. There is a pretty strong current running parallel to beach. So keep an eye on where you are/were. You get swept down the beach. Have a great time and don't turn your back on the ocean!
