Brennecke Beach is just a couple hundred yards down the road from Poipu Beach Park. You will find the left coast line an interesting place to explore.

Directions: From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8. After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa. Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu. At about mile 4.8, take the LEFT fork. After 1.2 mile, take a right on Ho'owili. When you come to the T, turn LEFT and drive for .2 mile and you'll see the small parking area.

05/14/2005 Gary Harmon (Avg: 2.60 Review) - Much better for surfing. I did see a rare Monk Seal at this location. Love to snorkel, Gary

12/04/2004 Snoccel Dieva (Avg: 4.55 Review) - I live on that beach. I hunt my fish there. I eat it over a fire made out of fallen tree logs. I bathe in that ocean. I dropped out of school to be near the water. The water is comforting to me!
