Don't travel before reading this post. Thank us later.
Ever imagined yourself in the wilderness on one of the finest beaches of the world. Did you think further that it was not going to crowded ? Did you know that you can take your car with you?
Welcome to Polihale Beach at Polihale State Park. Clear Blue, Green water, Miles of Golden sand, jagged cliffs, and high surf with no one else to share. If you get lucky, you will see spinner dolphins, monk seals and may be a migrating whale.
Well there is a catch. You will have a break a sweat to get to it. The last 4 miles of drive is a dirt road with huge and deep potholes. That’s what makes this beach less crowded. You don’t need a car with 4 wheel drive, as long as you drive slow, avoid potholes, and don’t go onto the beach with your car.
If it rains, steer clear. The potholes will be filled with water, you won't know how deep they are, and you will have a tough time navigating the road without risking your car.
If you have a 4 wheel drive, you can get on the beach. If you have a 4 wheel drive pickup truck, you will have to deflate your tires before heading to the beach.
The Polihale beach is on the west coast of Kauai, and not accessible by car from the Northern side of the island.
This beach is popular for Surfing. There are No life guards, and surf is very high. There is a campground on the northern side of the state park
You will witness Na Pali style jagged cliffs because this area is the extension of Na Pali coast.
There is a beautiful lookout that you can drive to, and is only accessible from the Waimea Canyon area.
No lifeguards, No Restrooms, No Food and Beverage for at least 10-15 miles
