Polihale Beach is the last beach on the road, this is Kauai's westernmost point (Na Pali devide this area from the north shore). It is an extension of Barking Sands Beach making it Hawaii's longest beach with 17 miles of sparkling white sand. From the northern end of the beach, the beginning cliffs of the Na Pali can be seen.
The sand dunes along this beach can reach up to 100-feet in height. The entire beach is unprotected from the ocean so surf and currents can be fierce here. On the northern end of the beach is Polihale State Park.
Some things we saw here...
- large stones stacked on to of each other perfectly balanced
- the most amazing sunset
- the forbidden island of Nihiau
- "nature people" going about their business in the nude
- local rowdies 4-wheeling
- whales (mom and two babies)
- HUGE waves
- acre after acre of abandoned sugar cane fields
- little goats climbing the cliffs
- we saw this amazing tree that I call "the tree of life"
- this really popular stop sign
