Polihale State Park

Polihale State Park is a remote wild beach on the western side of the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi. It is the most western publicly accessible area in Hawaii, although the privately owned island of Niʻihau is farther west. The park is miles away from the town of Kekaha, and it can only be reached via a

poorly marked, dirt sugarcane road, making a four-wheel drive vehicle preferable. The beach is several miles long, yet only the area known as "Queen's Pond" offers safe swimming.
