Review & FAQ:

Set on the western side of Kaua'i, Polihale State Park is a state park with a remote wild beach and fairly inaccessible without a four-wheel drive vehicle.

The pristine beach is several miles long and has one safe swimming area known as Queen's Pond at the southern end of the park.

The rest of the beach is wild and unsuitable for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing due to strong rip currents along the shore. Amenities at the park include a few picnic pavilions, restrooms with running cold water, simple semi-private showers, and flush toilets. There is no medical facility or lifeguard available.
