Transcript:
Known as the “sunny side” of the island, the south shore of Kaua‘i combines the old fashioned character of Kōloa and the refined resort lifestyle of Poʻipū. Popular for its sugar plantation origins, luxury vacationing, island style shopping, golf courses, restaurants and beaches, the south shore promises endless options for discovery.
“A remarkable gateway to the south shore towns of Kōloa and Poʻipū, the famous tree-tunnel road displays 500 eucalyptus trees that stretch for about 3 miles.”
Beyond the iconic tree tunnel, also known as Maluhia Road, Old Kōloa Town awaits. A key center for the island’s rich sugar cane history, this quaint town is a notable cultural region, where the Old Sugar Mill reflects the legacy of the plantation days. “Built in 1835, this large scale operation spawned the beginning of the largest industry in the state.”
Located in downtown Kōloa, the Old Sugar Mill is at the center of numerous shops, galleries, and dining opportunities.
Entering Poʻipū, famous for its continual sunshine, this area is home to numerous accommodations and luxurious homes accompanied by an abundance of shops and eateries.
The central Poʻipū traffic circle leads to many notable places, like Prince Kuhio Park, whose March 26th birthday is state holiday.
A must-see natural attraction, Spouting Horn Beach Park is the next memorable stop. An incredible place to observe this popular blowhole blast ocean spray into the air, this well-photographed site is more dramatic at high tide.
“Reaching heights of 50 feet, these bursts occur when water rushes under an eroded lava shelf, creating an audible hissing sound.” The lush green plant life of The Garden Island may be viewed in two National Tropical Botanical Garden’s which encompass 352 acres of preserved flora.
Located in the oceanfront village, Poʻipū Beach Park is one of the region’s most popular beaches, with safe waters for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and family fun.
Brennecke’s Beach neighbors Poʻipū Beach Park, which both feature an abundance of marine life from green sea turtles (honu), monk seals, and humpback whales. Monk seals often sunbathe in the summertime, and in the winter months, whales dance upon the horizon
Marking the beginning of the Māhāʻulepū Heritage Trail, Shipwreck’s Beach is further east and perfect for long beach walks and beautiful sunsets. “Shipwrecks beach is a half-mile stretch of white sand, tucked away in Poʻipū’s friendly south shore resort town with abundant restaurants, shopping, and golf-courses.”
On the way to the unforgettable Māhāʻulepū Beach, you’ll pass the southernmost point of the island. This area encompasses many natural wonders that trace the coastline. Māhāʻulepū Beach has a wild character that is found in the archeological landscape. “This remote beach has strong currents and sharp coral, which makes it dangerous for swimming or snorkeling, but it is a great location for coastal hikes and exploration.”
The town of Kalaheo marks the end of this region, which has great restaurant and shopping potential. With an array of attractions, the sunny south shore of Kaua‘i has much to explore.

Course
The Kaua'i Marathon and Half Marathon begin in Poipu, the world-class resort community at the sunny southern end of the island and run the first 11 miles together. The courses follow the contour of the scenic coastline, offering magnificent views of the island's picturesque beaches, rugged volcanic peaks, and green tropical rain forests. As dawn breaks, runners will experience lush green vistas as they approach the shade of the century old Tunnel of Trees. The course then winds through misty Omao where the half marathon enters Kukui'ula Resort offering spectacular ocean views for the last few miles. The full marathon heads out to Lawai before climbing to reveal stunning ocean views at the top of Kalaheo. The remaining miles are a gradual descent until runners receive a rousing island welcome upon their return to Poipu Beach. The courses are USATF and AIMS certified.

Kauaʻi or Kauai (/kə.ˈwaɪ.iː/; Hawaiian: [kɔuˈwɐʔi]) is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 562.3 square miles (1,456.4 km2), it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago, and the 21st largest island in the United States.
