Our perfect Poipu morning starts before the day gets loud.
First, coffee on the lanai while the sky goes from pink to gold and the mynah birds start their morning commentary. Then a slow walk to Poipu Beach, sand still cool under your feet, honu sometimes napping by the rocks. Back home for an easy breakfast: fresh pineapple, papaya with a squeeze of lime, or whatever the farmers market gave you on Saturday.
One tip: go early. The beach is calmest before 9, and from the Surfing Turtle it is an easy 5-minute walk, no driving or parking needed. You also get the best light for photos.
What would your first stop be?
