This little "village" has several shops and restaurants plus two grocery stores. It is worth a stop to look around and grab lunch or dinner. More

We did a guided hike from our hotel, The Point at Poipu, to Shipwreck Beach and a little beyond, and it was stunning.

My accommodations at Turtle Cove Suites were just a few minutes drive from Old Koloa Town.

Buy some of those fantastic local oranges! More
