Kiahuna beach is a narrow, tucked away stretch of sand next to the Sheraton that includes what’s probably the go-to spot (Learner's) in Poipu for beginners to learn how to surf.
The outer reef at Kiahuna provides opportunities for advanced surfing. For a beginner-friendly experience, head east down the beach towards Kala Kai Point and you’ll see a mellow stretch of reef and sand on the inside. Chances are you'll see a bunch of longboards in the water - that's where you'll want to paddle out. Parking is available via a public parking lot and there's a bathroom and shower.
Tip: Kauai Surf School is located on the beach and you can purchase lessons or rent boards by the hour.
