Kauai, Hawaii: Poipu Beach Park Closes for One Day on Nov. 12 to Clear Sand Left by Hurricane Lowell
Poipu Beach Park on Kauai's south shore will close for one day on Thursday, November 12, so crews can complete maintenance and cleanup, including returning sand washed away by Hurricane Lowell to the beach. It is expected to reopen on Friday, November 13. Kauai County announced the closure on November 9, and the island's newspaper, The Garden Island, reported it on November 10. The park's parking lot had already been closed through November 6 for maintenance and storm repairs.
Beyond Poipu Beach Park, several other Kauai beaches and park areas remain closed after the hurricane, including Salt Pond Beach Park and the Morgan Ponds at Lydgate Beach Park. During the closure, county parks staff and partner agencies will finish the remaining maintenance and cleanup work tied to Hurricane Lowell. The reopening time is an estimate and depends on crews finishing on schedule. Questions can be directed to the Kauai County parks department at 808-241-4460.
Kauai has also issued a high surf advisory, with waves of 18 to 24 feet on north and west shores; officials advise against swimming and other ocean recreation on the north and west shores.
