Camping enthusiasts can grab a permit and pitch their tent anywhere they want among dunes up to 100 feet tall. Popular activities at Polihale State park are shore fishing, sunset watching, beachcombing, and shelling. Amenities include outdoor showers, picnic shelters, toilets, and cold running water.
