Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Polihale State Park, one of the most sequestered and stunning beaches in Hawaii, is located on the west side of the island of Kauai. It features a lengthy stretch of pristine white sand beach meeting the turquoise waters of the Pacific. The park covers approximately 140 acres and is backed by the rugged cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. The park's natural beauty is highlighted by its dramatic views and the vast openness of the Mana Sand Dunes that rise dramatically above the beach. Historically, the area is linked with Hawaiian legends, believed to be a place where spirits leap into the afterlife. Recreational opportunities abound, from camping and picnicking to beach walks, fishing, and brilliant sunset views. Despite its remote nature, Polihale is a sought-after destination for its undisturbed landscapes and the peacefulness of its beachfront.
