Though Kauai's climate is tropical, it actually consists of many distinct microclimates, including sunny dry areas, lush river valleys, temperate foothills and high mountain rain forests. Most of the year, temperatures on Kauai range in the 70s, with winter nighttime lows in the 60s. Summers on Kauai bring daytime temperatures in the mid-80s and nighttime lows in the 70s. Even in the middle of Kauai's summer, the nearly constant gentle trade winds create a cool balmy climate instead of the oppressive heat common to many tropical destinations.

Poipu Beach, on Kauai's sunny southern shore, provides a perfect base from which to explore the multi faceted splendor of Kauai, "the Garden Isle." Equidistant from Kauai's other scenic wonders and surrounded by many white sand beaches, its natural beauty and consistent sunny, dry weather have made Poipu Beach the prime resort destination on Kauai. Brennecke Beach-Poipu Beach Park is a favorite of visitors and locals alike. Its clear, warm, blue water and golden sand beaches recently helped it earn a designation as a Best Beach in the United States.
