The Poʻipū women’s fitted tee, for the town that is the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Poʻipū vintage retro logo on the chest in white, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Poʻipū shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Lightweight ringspun cotton jersey gives this women’s fitted tee its soft feel. The cut is slim and contoured with a longer body length and a classic crewneck, built with side seams and a tear-away label; it runs smaller than usual. Solids are 100% cotton and select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

Poʻipū, Hawaiian for crashing waves, is the southernmost tip of Kauaʻi and the driest, sunniest stretch of coast on the island. Ladd & Company established Hawaiʻi’s first successful sugar plantation at nearby Kōloa in 1835, the start of the whole Hawaiian sugar era, and the waves of immigrant workers who followed built Old Kōloa Town.

Seventeen early-1900s buildings still stand on Kōloa Road, the Sueoka Store among them, open since 1918, under the monkeypod planted in 1925. Poʻipū Beach Park, twin sandy crescents where monk seals haul out, has been named the best beach in America. The south shore is the mark on this piece.

All Poʻipū Hawaiʻi Items

What's with Poʻipū? Poipu is Kauai's sunny south shore — a resort coast around a beach once named the best in America, with Old Koloa Town's plantation history inland. The name means "crashing waves," and the geography explains the sunshine: the trade winds drop their rain on Mount Waiʻaleʻale — among the wettest places on Earth — leaving this southern tip in a bright rain shadow. Kauaʻi at its warmest and most easygoing, with a century and a half of plantation history a mile up the road.

The modern south shore began a mile inland. At Kōloa in 1835, Ladd & Company opened Hawaiʻi's first commercially successful sugar plantation, and everything that defines old Hawaiʻi's economy followed from that mill: workers arrived from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal, and Puerto Rico, and their descendants built the multicultural Kauaʻi of today. The stone chimney of the old mill still stands beside the Kōloa road, ringed by a bronze sculpture circle honoring the plantation peoples, and every July, Kōloa Plantation Days — the south shore's signature festival, running since 1985 — celebrates exactly that inheritance with a parade, a rodeo, and a week of open history.

Why People Visit Poʻipū

  • Poʻipū Beach Park — the best-beach-in-America crescents, beginner surf, and honu (with monk seals as occasional guests).
  • Spouting Horn — the lava-tube blowhole throwing spray forty or fifty feet, best at higher surf.
  • The Tree Tunnel — the 1911 eucalyptus vault over Maluhia Road, the classic south-shore arrival.
  • Old Kōloa Town & the Heritage Trail — plantation storefronts, the 1835 mill chimney, fourteen marked history stops.
  • The gardens — Allerton and McBryde tours in the Lāwaʻi Valley; Prince Kūhiō Park on the shore road.
  • Māhāʻulepū Heritage Trail — the wild two miles east from Shipwreck Beach along cliffs and lithified dunes.
